Yet, to date most of these studies do not assess psychological pathways and conditional effects. By drawing on self-determination theory, the present study tested whether the relationship between lockdown loneliness and mental health is mediated via basic needs satisfaction (relatedness, autonomy, and competence) and whether these associations are exacerbated for younger age groups. A total of 339 Portuguese residents completed an anonymous web-based survey during the Covid-19 lockdown in March 2021. The results corroborate a significant link between perceived loneliness and anxiety as well as depression. Parallel mediation analyses showed that competence consistently mediated the lockdown loneliness-mental health link. Moderated mediated analyses also confirmed that the psychosocial pathway applied most strongly to younger age groups. These findings highlight the role of social factors for competence need satisfaction and mental health among younger people during the Covid-19 lockdown in Portugal. The results also point to potential avenues for future prevention measures to mitigate the harmful effects that social exclusion can bring about.</p>","PeriodicalId":51546,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Adult Development","volume":"77 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139065397","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Life challenges are present in all stages of human development, including the stage of emerging adulthood. Being resilient is crucial to cope with these challenges. Existing studies have revealed that parenting styles have a significant impact on one’s resilience level. Nevertheless, the impact of a specific parenting style, particularly helicopter parenting on resilience has not been extensively studied in Malaysia. In addition, the underlying mechanism of the relationship between helicopter parenting and resilience is also under-examined, though it is suggested that fear of negative evaluation may play a mediating role in it. A cross-sectional design was employed to examine the relationship between helicopter parenting and resilience, as well as the mediating role of fear of negative evaluation in the relationship among Malaysian Chinese university students. A survey questionnaire including the Helicopter Parenting Scale, Brief Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale, and Brief Resilience Scale was answered by 204 participants. Results indicated that helicopter parenting predicts resilience, and the relationship is partially mediated by fear of negative evaluation. This study sheds light on how university students’ resilience level could be promoted by reducing the fear of negative evaluation. The result of the study could be useful in promoting greater resiliency and reducing the negative effect of helicopter parenting among university students, by lessening the fear of negative evaluation.</p>","PeriodicalId":51546,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Adult Development","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138628836","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results generally supported hypotheses. Structural equation models revealed that narcissistic <i>assertive/extroverted</i> and <i>antagonistic/disagreeable</i> forms of narcissism were positively and directly associated with maternal reports of overparenting, as expected, and they were partially mediated through parental contingent self-esteem. Maternal <i>assertive/extroverted</i> and <i>vulnerable/neurotic</i> narcissism were linked to overparenting via parental contingent self-worth and maternal separation anxiety. Similar patterns appeared for emerging adults’ reports of overparenting.

The two-continua model proposes that mental health and mental illness are not two ends of the same spectrum but are, in fact, two separate but related spectrums. This cross-sectional study used a multi-age group comparison approach to identify the relative predictive strengths of risk and protective factors for the two-continua model of mental health and mental illness. Participants ( n = 458: 251 16–25 year olds, and 207 35–64 year olds) completed an online survey that measured the outcome variables of depression and anxiety symptoms and mental wellbeing. Independent variables from three conceptual areas in psychology—(1) positive psychology: optimism, pessimism, and accomplishment; (2) emotion regulation: cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression; and (3) interpersonal theories: belonging and relationship with parent/child—were measured to ascertain the determinants of these outcome variables. The all-variables models explained 58–68% of the variance in depression symptoms, 77–80% in mental wellbeing, and 26–43% in anxiety symptoms. For both groups, the strongest predictor of mental wellbeing in these models was accomplishment. The strongest predictors in these models of mental illness symptoms differed between groups: belonging in the younger group and accomplishment in the older group. Programs targeting belonging and accomplishment could be highly effective in promoting mental wellbeing and reducing mental ill-health for these groups. Interventions require contextual investigation to locate drivers of mental wellbeing and illness for different age groups prior to implementation.","PeriodicalId":51546,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Adult Development","volume":"24 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134973228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
