Research has shown that parenting style disparities have a significant impact on the mental health of college students. However, the underlying reasons behind this phenomenon have not been sufficiently explored. This study systematically examines the impact of parenting style disparities on the mental health of medical college students from the perspective of positive psychology and analyzes the mediating effects of positive psychological qualities.
This study administered questionnaires to 3,387 medical students in Wuhu, China, all of whom came from two-parent families. Specifically, the Short-Egna Minnen av. Barndoms Uppfostran for Children (s-EMBU-C) questionnaire was used to assess parenting style disparities, whereas the SCL-90 scale was utilized to evaluate mental health problems. Additionally, the Chinese College Student Positive Psychological Quality Scale was employed to assess positive psychological qualities. The hypothesis is proposed that positive psychological qualities mediate the relationship between parenting style disparities and mental health problems, and the bootstrap method was employed to examine the mediating effect. Additionally, a multivariate linear regression model was utilized to identify the factors associated with mental health problems.
The study revealed a significant positive correlation between parenting style disparities and mental health problems ( = 0.152, < 0.01); conversely, parenting style disparities were significantly negatively correlated with positive psychological qualities ( = -0.070, < 0.01). Additionally, positive psychological qualities were significantly negatively correlated with mental health problems ( = -0.201, < 0.01). Furthermore, positive psychological qualities played a partial mediating role between parenting style disparities and mental health problems, accounting for 12.398% of the total effect.
Parenting style disparities significantly negatively predict positive psychological qualities in medical college students, whereas positive psychological qualities significantly negatively predict mental health problems. Positive psychological qualities play a partial mediating role between parenting style disparities and mental health problems among medical college students. The main findings emphasize the importance of consistent parenting styles and the cultivation of positive psychological qualities for the mental health of medical college students.
研究表明,教养方式差异对大学生心理健康有显著影响。然而,这一现象背后的潜在原因尚未得到充分探究。本研究从积极心理学的角度系统考察教养方式差异对医科大学生心理健康的影响,并分析积极心理品质的中介作用。
本研究对中国芜湖的3387名医科学生进行问卷调查,他们均来自双亲家庭。具体而言,使用儿童版简式父母教养方式问卷(s-EMBU-C)评估教养方式差异,而采用症状自评量表(SCL-90)评估心理健康问题。此外,运用中国大学生积极心理品质量表评估积极心理品质。提出假设:积极心理品质在教养方式差异与心理健康问题之间起中介作用,并采用自助法检验中介效应。此外,利用多元线性回归模型确定与心理健康问题相关的因素。
研究发现教养方式差异与心理健康问题之间存在显著正相关(r = 0.152,p < 0.01);相反,教养方式差异与积极心理品质显著负相关(r = -0.070,p < 0.01)。此外,积极心理品质与心理健康问题显著负相关(r = -0.201,p < 0.01)。此外,积极心理品质在教养方式差异与心理健康问题之间起部分中介作用,占总效应的12.398%。
教养方式差异显著负向预测医科大学生的积极心理品质,而积极心理品质显著负向预测心理健康问题。积极心理品质在医科大学生教养方式差异与心理健康问题之间起部分中介作用。主要研究结果强调了一致的教养方式以及培养积极心理品质对医科大学生心理健康的重要性。
