Abstract

Background: A positive school climate benefits adolescents in multiple developmental dimensions. However, theoretical frameworks suggest that detrimental parenting practices can trigger adolescents' negative emotional states, which may skew their perceptions of school climate. Although self-consciousness, a critical intrapersonal trait, may mitigate these adverse effects, limited research has empirically explored its moderating role in the context where negative parenting influences adolescents' mental health and school-related outcomes. Thereby, this study investigates how parental negative control influences adolescents' perceived school climate via depression, with self-consciousness moderating the link between parental negative control and depression.

Methods: A short-term longitudinal design was employed, with the data collected from a sample of Chinese adolescents (NT1 = 733, NT2=711). Self-reports were used to measure parental negative control, depressive symptoms, self-consciousness, and perceived school climate. Structural equation modeling was conducted to assess the mediating effect of depression and the moderating effect of self-consciousness.

Results: The findings show that depression mediates the relationship between parental negative control and perceived school climate. Adolescents experiencing higher levels of negative control reported more depressive symptoms, which were associated with lower perceptions of school climate. Self-consciousness moderates the link between parental negative control and depression, with adolescents exhibiting higher self-consciousness showing less vulnerability to the adverse effects of negative control.

Conclusions: This study reveals the detrimental impact of parental negative control and depression on adolescents' perceived school climate while highlighting the protective role of self-consciousness. Interventions can target families engaged in maladaptive parenting practices and adolescents with psychopathological symptoms, focusing on enhancing family dynamics and adolescents' self-processes.

抑郁的中介作用和自我意识的调节作用在父母负性控制与青少年学校氛围感知的关系中。
背景:积极的学校氛围在多个发展维度对青少年有益。然而,理论框架表明,有害的养育做法会引发青少年的消极情绪状态,这可能会扭曲他们对学校氛围的看法。虽然自我意识作为一种重要的个人特质,可能会减轻这些不利影响,但有限的研究已经从经验上探讨了它在负面父母教养影响青少年心理健康和学业相关结果的背景下的调节作用。因此,本研究旨在探讨父母负控制如何通过抑郁影响青少年对学校氛围的感知,而自我意识在父母负控制与抑郁之间具有调节作用。方法:采用短期纵向设计,数据来自中国青少年样本(NT1 = 733, NT2=711)。自我报告用于测量父母的消极控制、抑郁症状、自我意识和感知的学校气氛。采用结构方程模型评估抑郁的中介作用和自我意识的调节作用。结果:抑郁在家长负性控制与学校氛围感知之间起中介作用。负控制水平较高的青少年报告了更多的抑郁症状,这与对学校气氛的感知较低有关。自我意识缓和了父母的消极控制与抑郁之间的联系,青少年表现出更高的自我意识,表明更不容易受到消极控制的不利影响。结论:本研究揭示了父母负控制和抑郁对青少年校园气候感知的不利影响,同时强调了自我意识的保护作用。干预措施可以针对从事不适应养育做法的家庭和有精神病理症状的青少年,重点是加强家庭动态和青少年自我过程。

期刊介绍: Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Mental Health, the official journal of the International Association for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Allied Professions, is an open access, online journal that provides an international platform for rapid and comprehensive scientific communication on child and adolescent mental health across different cultural backgrounds. CAPMH serves as a scientifically rigorous and broadly open forum for both interdisciplinary and cross-cultural exchange of research information, involving psychiatrists, paediatricians, psychologists, neuroscientists, and allied disciplines. The journal focusses on improving the knowledge base for the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of mental health conditions in children and adolescents, and aims to integrate basic science, clinical research and the practical implementation of research findings. In addition, aspects which are still underrepresented in the traditional journals such as neurobiology and neuropsychology of psychiatric disorders in childhood and adolescence are considered.
