摘要

在社交媒体日益普及的背景下，本研究考察了在社交媒体上接触与生育相关的负面信息如何与生育意愿相关，重点研究了生育焦虑的中介作用和性别的调节作用。样本包括712名未婚和无子女的中国年轻人(491名女性，221名男性；岁18-38)。结果显示，负暴露与生育意愿在两个指标（生育意愿和计划生育数量）上呈负相关。当考虑到性别差异时，消极暴露与计划生育数量之间的负相关仅在男性中显著；负暴露与生育焦虑之间的正相关关系在男性中强于女性；生育焦虑和生育意向（生育愿望和计划生育数量）之间的负相关仅在女性中显著。这些发现突出了在生育研究和政策中考虑性别差别的必要性。

Negative social media exposure and Chinese unmarried young adult's fertility intention: The mediating role of fertility anxiety and gender differences

Amid deepening social media penetration, this study examined how exposure to negative fertility-related information on social media correlates with fertility intention, with a focus on the mediating role of fertility anxiety and the moderating role of gender. The sample consisted of 712 unmarried and childless young Chinese (491 women, 221 men; aged 18–38). Results showed that negative exposure was negatively correlated with fertility intention across both indicators (desire to have children and planned number of children). When considered gender differences, the negative association between negative exposure and planned number of children was significant only among men; the positive association between negative exposure and fertility anxiety was stronger among men compared to women; the negative association between fertility anxiety and fertility intention (both desire to have children and planned number of children) was significant only among women. These findings highlight the necessity of considering gender-differentiation in fertility research and policy.

期刊介绍： Personality and Individual Differences is devoted to the publication of articles (experimental, theoretical, review) which aim to integrate as far as possible the major factors of personality with empirical paradigms from experimental, physiological, animal, clinical, educational, criminological or industrial psychology or to seek an explanation for the causes and major determinants of individual differences in concepts derived from these disciplines. The editors are concerned with both genetic and environmental causes, and they are particularly interested in possible interaction effects.
