Abstract

Character strengths could effectively prevent negative psychological outcomes in adults. However, there was little research conducted among early adolescents. The present study aimed to explore character strengths that were independently related to fewer behavior problems in early adolescents. In total, 521 early adolescents (mean age 10.92 ± 0.04, range 10-12 years) were recruited from primary schools in Sichuan, China. Character strengths were measured using the Values in Action Inventory of Strengths for Youth (VIA-Youth). Behavior problems were measured using the Conners Parent Symptom Questionnaire (PSQ). The results showed that behavior problems were negatively correlated with character strengths (r = -0.14 to -0.3, p < 0.05 Bonferroni corrected). Character strengths explained a significant proportion of additional variance (14-22%) in five types of behavior problems after controlling the effect of demographic factors (residence, left-behind experiences, maternal education level). Moreover, several specific character strengths showed an independent contribution (β = -0.34 to -0.14 for self-regulation, perseverance, zest, humility, and leadership; β = 0.21 to 0.34, for hope; all p < 0.05) to behavior problems. Our study revealed that character strengths were protective factors against behavior problems in early adolescents.

性格优势对青少年早期行为问题的保护作用。
性格优势可以有效预防成人的消极心理结果。然而,在早期青少年中进行的研究很少。本研究旨在探讨性格优势与青少年早期行为问题的独立关系。共从四川省小学招募521名早期青少年,平均年龄(10.92±0.04)岁,年龄范围10 ~ 12岁。使用青少年优势行动价值量表(VIA-Youth)测量性格优势。行为问题采用Conners父母症状问卷(PSQ)进行测量。结果显示,行为问题与性格优势呈负相关(r = -0.14 ~ -0.3, p < 0.05, Bonferroni校正)。在控制了人口学因素(居住地、留守经历、母亲受教育程度)的影响后,性格优势解释了五种行为问题中额外方差的显著比例(14-22%)。此外,在自我调节、毅力、热情、谦逊和领导力方面,几个特定的性格优势表现出独立的贡献(β = -0.34 ~ -0.14);β = 0.21 ~ 0.34,表示希望;p < 0.05)与行为问题相关。我们的研究表明,性格优势是预防青少年早期行为问题的保护因素。
