Abstract

Emerging adulthood represents a critical stage characterized by heightened risks for anxiety, depression, and somatization symptoms development. Research has shown that difficulties in emotional identification, expression, and processing, as well as dysfunctional parenting styles, may exacerbate symptoms in emerging adults. The present study aimed at examining the interplay between mentalized affectivity (i.e., emotional identification, processing, and expression), helicopter parenting, and psychopathological risk in 913 Italian cisgender emerging adults (M = 24.34, SD = 2.81; 71.20% assigned female at birth), using network analysis. The results indicated moderate to strong associations between psychopathological symptoms, with emotional processing difficulties significantly associated with general anxiety, depression, and, to a lesser extent, somatization. Additionally, increased degrees of helicopter parenting from mothers were linked to increased psychopathology and higher emotional processing difficulties. These findings emphasize the importance of addressing the interconnection between symptoms and emotional processing to prevent and treat psychopathological risks in emerging adults. Moreover, interventions targeting intrusive and overprotecting parenting behaviors may promote well-being among emerging adults.

心理化情感、直升机式养育与成长期成人的心理病态风险:网络分析
成年期是一个关键阶段,其特点是焦虑、抑郁和躯体化症状发展的风险增加。研究表明,情绪识别、表达和处理方面的困难,以及功能失调的养育方式,可能会加重新成人的症状。本研究旨在利用网络分析法,研究 913 名意大利顺性别新兴成年人(中=24.34,标差=2.81;71.20% 出生时被分配为女性)的心智化情感(即情感识别、处理和表达)、直升机养育方式和精神病理学风险之间的相互作用。结果表明,精神病理症状之间存在中度至高度关联,情绪处理困难与一般焦虑、抑郁有显著关联,与躯体化的关联程度较低。此外,母亲直升机式教育程度的增加也与精神病理学和情绪处理障碍的增加有关。这些发现强调了解决症状与情绪处理之间的相互联系以预防和治疗新成人精神病理学风险的重要性。此外,针对侵入性和过度保护性养育行为的干预措施可能会促进新兴成人的幸福感。
