Abstract

The left-behind children are children aged below 16, who remain in their hometowns without one or both parents' presence. Both individual resilience and family resilience play a crucial role in how left-behind children cope positively with adversity. Few studies have attempted to explore the dynamic processes of individual resilience and family resilience of left-behind children from a dimensional perspective. To address this gap, this study employed a cross-lagged panel network model to examine the complex interactions among various resilience components. A total of 2,259 left-behind children completed the survey in December 2018 (T1), and 1,991 of them completed the assessments 4 months later (T2). A final sample of 1,708 Chinese left-behind children (M_age = 12.94, SD = 1.56; 47.50% girls) completed a survey at both waves. The results indicated that "maintaining a positive outlook" is the most critical dimension of beliefs connecting children's individual resilience and family resilience. Perceived beliefs about maintaining a positive outlook across the whole family at T1 were found to be associated with the three dimensions of individual resilience at T2, rather than the reverse. This suggests that family belief systems may represent a pivotal point of intervention for left-behind children. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved).

留守儿童个体心理弹性与家庭心理弹性：纵向网络分析。

留守儿童是指年龄在16岁以下的儿童，他们在父母一方或双方不在场的情况下留在家乡。在留守儿童如何积极应对逆境方面，个人适应力和家庭适应力都发挥着至关重要的作用。很少有研究试图从维度角度探讨留守儿童个体心理弹性和家庭心理弹性的动态过程。为了解决这一差距，本研究采用了一个交叉滞后的面板网络模型来研究各种弹性成分之间复杂的相互作用。2018年12月共有2259名留守儿童完成了调查（T1），其中1991名留守儿童在4个月后完成了评估（T2）。最终样本为1708名中国留守儿童(Mage = 12.94, SD = 1.56；47.50%的女孩)在两个阶段都完成了调查。结果表明，“保持积极的心态”是影响儿童个体心理弹性和家庭心理弹性的最关键的信念维度。在T1阶段，整个家庭对保持积极前景的感知信念与T2阶段个体弹性的三个维度相关，而不是相反。这表明，家庭信仰体系可能是对留守儿童进行干预的一个关键点。（PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA，版权所有）。
