The Relationship Between Parent-Child Attachment and Internalizing and Externalizing Problems of Adolescents: The Sequential Mediating Role of Resilience and Resistance to Peer Influence

Abstract

Abstract: The present study explored the relationship between parent-child attachment and adolescents’ internalizing and externalizing problems, as well as the serial mediation of resilience and resistance to peer influence. In total, 1029 junior school students in Jilin Province were investigated with the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment, Short Form of the Resilience Scale, Resistance to Peer Influence Scale and Youth Self-Report. Results showed that: 1) Compared with externalizing problems, parent-child attachment had a greater impact on internalizing problems of adolescents. 2) Resistance to peer influence played a mediating role in the relationship between parent-child attachment and adolescents’ internalizing and externalizing problems. However, compared with internalizing problems, the protective effect of safe parent-child attachment on externalizing problems was greatly enhanced through the mediation of resistance to peer influence. 3) Resilience and resistance to peer influence had serial mediating effects in the relationship between parent-child attachment and adolescents’ internalizing and externalizing problems.

Key words: paren-child attachment, internalizing problems, externalizing problems, resilience, resistance to peer influence

摘要： 为了探讨亲子依恋与青少年内外化问题的关系，以及心理韧性和同伴影响抵抗在其中的链式中介作用，采用亲子依恋问卷、心理韧性量表、同伴影响抵抗量表和青少年行为量表对吉林省某中学的1029名中学生进行了调查。结果发现：（1）相对于外化问题，亲子依恋对青少年内化问题具有更大的影响。（2）同伴影响抵抗在亲子依恋与青少年内外化问题之间均具有中介作用；但相对于内化问题，安全亲子依恋对青少年外化问题的保护作用可通过个体的同伴影响抵抗能力得到更大的增强。（3）心理韧性与同伴影响抵抗在亲子依恋对青少年内外化问题之间均具有链式中介作用。
