Abstract

Background: Anger rumination affects adolescents’ mental health and seriously damages their functions in interpersonal and communication situations and their social adjustment function in various family, academic and occupational situations. Objective: The present study aimed to investigate the relation of anger rumination and self-criticism with social maladjustment with the mediating role of psychological flexibility in adolescent boys and girls in Ahvaz (Iran). Materials & Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The statistical population was all secondary school students of Ahvaz in the 2020-21 academic year. The 848 participants (443 girls and 405 boys) aged between 16 and 18 years old, were selected using multistage cluster sampling. The research instruments included the Anger Rumination Scale, Levels of Self-Criticism Scale, Acceptance and Action Questionnaire–II, and Social Development Scale. Multigroup SEM was used to compare the proposed model between the girls and the boys. Results: There was a significant direct relationship between anger rumination, self-criticism, psychological flexibility, and social maladjustment (P<0.001). The findings suggested that psychological flexibility played a mediating role in the relationships of anger rumination and self-criticism with social maladjustment (P<0.01). In addition, there was a significant direct relationship between anger rumination and self-criticism to social maladjustment in boys, while this relationship was not significant in girls. Conclusion: The results suggested the desirable goodness of fit of the final model. Therefore, it is suggested to consider the roles of anger rumination, self-criticism, and psychological flexibility in predicting social maladjustment in students while regarding their gender differences in developing and implementing educational programs

青少年男女愤怒反刍、自我批评与社会不适应的关系及心理弹性的中介作用

背景:愤怒反刍影响青少年的心理健康，严重损害青少年在各种家庭、学业和职业情境中的人际交往功能和社会适应功能。目的:探讨伊朗阿瓦士地区青少年男女的愤怒反刍和自我批评与社会适应不良的关系以及心理灵活性的中介作用。材料与方法:本描述性横断面研究采用结构方程模型(SEM)进行。统计人口为2020-21学年阿瓦士的中学生。采用多阶段整群抽样方法，选取年龄在16 - 18岁之间的848名参与者(443名女孩和405名男孩)。研究工具包括《愤怒反刍量表》、《自我批评水平量表》、《接受与行动量表》和《社会发展量表》。采用多组扫描电镜对女生和男生的模型进行比较。结果:愤怒反刍、自我批评、心理灵活性与社会适应不良有显著的直接关系(P<0.001)。结果表明，心理灵活性在愤怒反刍和自我批评与社会适应不良的关系中起中介作用(P<0.01)。此外，男孩的愤怒反刍和自我批评与社会适应不良有显著的直接关系，而女孩的这种关系不显著。结论:最终模型具有良好的拟合性。因此，我们建议考虑愤怒反刍、自我批评和心理灵活性在预测学生社会适应不良方面的作用，同时考虑他们在制定和实施教育计划方面的性别差异
