{"title":"Paternal Parenting Styles and Filial Piety Toward Fathers Among Chinese Adolescents: The Roles of Conscientiousness and Moral Identity.","authors":"Cong Peng, Zhenlin Zhang, Yuhua Wang, Zhenyun Zhang, Fang Cheng","doi":"10.2147/PRBM.S640415","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2147/PRBM.S640415","url":null,"abstract":"&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Background: &lt;/strong&gt;Previous studies have demonstrated that caregivers' parenting styles are associated with children' filial piety toward parents. However, the underlying mechanisms linking parenting styles to filial piety toward parents remain largely unspecified. Additionally, prior research commonly classifies family parenting styles into positive parenting and negative parenting, neglecting the potential differential impacts and pathways of different types of paternal parenting styles on filial piety toward fathers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Purpose: &lt;/strong&gt;Drawing on theoretical and empirical evidence, this study investigated the relationship between two types of paternal parenting styles (positive and negative) and filial piety toward fathers among Chinese adolescents, employing serial mediation models that included conscientiousness and moral identity as potential mediators.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;A total of 467 Chinese senior high school students aged 14-19 years (male 47.1%) completed anonymous questionnaires assessing demographics, paternal parenting styles, conscientiousness, moral identity and filial piety toward fathers. Serial mediation analyses were conducted using Mplus8.3 and bootstrap procedures.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;After controlling for gender, age, and only-child status, the results indicated that both positive and negative paternal parenting are significantly associated with adolescents' filial piety toward fathers. Furthermore, positive paternal parenting correlates with adolescents' filial piety toward fathers through two independent mechanisms: an indirect pathway mediated by moral identity and the serial mediating pathway of conscientiousness and moral identity. In contrast, the association between negative paternal parenting and adolescents' filial piety toward fathers operates only through a direct pathway.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;Both positive and negative paternal parenting were significantly correlated with adolescents' filial piety toward fathers. However, the serial mediating path from conscientiousness to moral identity is only significant across the model examining positive paternal parenting as a predictor of filial piety toward fathers. Conscientiousness does not function as a viable mediator linking paternal parenting to adolescents' filial piety toward their fathers. Likewise, moral identity fails to mediate the association between negative paternal parenting and filial piety toward fathers. This study verifies that fathers constitute a pivotal figure in the formation of adolescents' filial piety within the Chinese cultural context and shed light on the asymmetric dynamic between distinct paternal parenting styles and filial piety among Chinese adolescents. These findings advance our understanding of the distinct functions of divergent paternal parenting styles as a critical familial environmental factor, which shapes adolescents' filial piety through the intrapersonal pathw","PeriodicalId":20954,"journal":{"name":"Psychology Research and Behavior Management","volume":"19 ","pages":"640415"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2026-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13676863/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149220694","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on a narrative synthesis of relevant psychological evidence, together with conceptual analysis and normative policy analysis, this paper examines the extent to which China's existing anti-addiction measures correspond to the risk structure of IGD. Existing evidence indicates that a range of individual, environmental, and game-design factors are associated with problematic gaming or IGD. Some direct policy evaluations suggest that time limits can reduce gaming participation or duration; however, there is still insufficient direct evidence to determine whether such reductions in exposure consistently translate into lower IGD risk. On this basis, the paper proposes a conceptual governance framework guided by digital resilience and digital rights. While retaining necessary time limits, the framework places greater emphasis on harm-reduction design and connects platform responsibility with support from families, schools, and professionals. The aim is to broaden the governance of gaming addiction prevention beyond time control alone to encompass the reduction of environmental risks and the development of adolescents' adaptive capacities.</p>","PeriodicalId":20954,"journal":{"name":"Psychology Research and Behavior Management","volume":"19 ","pages":"650645"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2026-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13676851/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149220619","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the full-spectrum measurement properties of the EDS-R by integrating the COSMIN methodology, modified GRADE approach, and a quantitative Reliability Generalization (RG) meta-analysis. Systematic searches were conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, PsycInfo, and CINAHL up to October 24, 2025, without language restrictions. Methodological quality was appraised via the COSMIN Risk of Bias checklist. Twenty-three studies (N = 14,779) across competitive athletes, sports academy students, gym members, and general populations were included. Content validity and hypothesis testing for construct validity (88.9% alignment, 24/27) were rated as sufficient (moderate-quality evidence). Structural validity was supported for the original first-order seven-factor model (20/22, 90.9%; moderate-quality evidence), as well as higher-order and bifactor configurations (sufficient, high-quality evidence); in contrast, variant 5- and 6-factor models showed mixed fit, and a unidimensional model was rejected (insufficient, high-quality evidence). Demographic and athletic subgroup measurement invariance (gender, age, competition level, training duration) was established with high-quality evidence; however, cross-cultural validity across languages was supported by limited evidence (1 study, insufficient). In the RG meta-analysis, pooled subscale reliabilities ranged from 0.724 to 0.886; notably, the \"Reduction in Other Activities\" subscale demonstrated marked vulnerability in athletic cohorts (pooled <i>α</i> = 0.561, 95% CI [0.522, 0.597]) compared to non-athletic cohorts (<i>α</i> = 0.760, <i>p</i> = 0.005). Egger's test indicated no significant publication bias across subscales (all <i>p</i> ≥ 0.059). Test-retest reliability was rated as sufficient but supported only by very low-quality evidence due to unstandardized retest windows (7-28 days) and methodological reliance on Pearson's r. Longitudinal responsiveness and measurement error were completely uninvestigated. In conclusion, the EDS-R, particularly in its original seven-factor configuration, appears psychometrically sound for cross-sectional screening and multidimensional assessment. However, caution is warranted when interpreting the \"Reduction in Other Activities\" subscale in competitive athletes and conducting cross-national score comparisons.
