Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the mediating role of social self-efficacy in the relationship between parental control and social anxiety. The study population comprised all first and second-year high school students studying in Ahvaz County during the academic year 2020 to 2021. A total of 373 (53.08% female and 46.92% male) students were selected using multistage cluster sampling. The mean age ( SD) of the participants was 15.06 (2.4) years. The data were collected using the Parental Psychological Control Scale (PPCS), the Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescents (SAS-A), and the Self-Efficacy for Social Situations Scale (SESS). The reliability of the research tools was assessed using Cronbach’s alpha method, and path analysis was used to analyze the data. The results showed that both achievement-oriented and dependency-oriented parental control was directly related to social self-efficacy, which, in turn, was significantly related to social anxiety. Moreover, social self-efficacy completely mediated the relationships between achievement-oriented and dependency-oriented parental control with social anxiety. Therefore, reducing parental psychological control can increase adolescents’ level of social self-efficacy, which can subsequently decrease their social anxiety.

社交自我效能感是父母控制与社交焦虑之间关系的中介吗？

本研究旨在探讨社交自我效能感在父母控制与社交焦虑关系中的中介作用。研究对象包括 2020 至 2021 学年在阿瓦士县就读的所有高一和高二学生。采用多阶段聚类抽样法共选取了 373 名学生（女生占 53.08%，男生占 46.92%）。参与者的平均年龄（标准差）为 15.06（2.4）岁。数据收集采用了家长心理控制量表（PPCS）、青少年社交焦虑量表（SAS-A）和社交情境自我效能感量表（SESS）。研究工具的信度采用 Cronbach's alpha 法进行评估，数据分析采用路径分析法。结果显示，成就导向型和依赖导向型父母控制都与社交自我效能感直接相关，而社交自我效能感又与社交焦虑显著相关。此外，社交自我效能感完全调解了成就导向型和依赖导向型父母控制与社交焦虑之间的关系。因此，减少父母的心理控制可以提高青少年的社交自我效能感水平，从而降低他们的社交焦虑。
