Intergenerational Transmission of Core Self-Evaluations: Chain Mediation of Parental Support and Offspring’s Basic Psychological Need

doi:10.12139/j.1672-0628.2022.04.012

Abstract

Abstract: In this study, we proposed a chain mediation model linking parents’ core self-evaluations (CES) and adolescents’ CES through parental support and adolescents’ basic psychological need. A total of 407 Chinese families were recruited in Hunan Province on a voluntary basis. The results revealed that parents’ CES positively predicted parental support, which in turn positively predicted adolescents’ basic psychological need, which in turn positively predicted adolescents’ CES. However, parents’ CES did not significantly predict adolescent’s basic psychological need and CES, and parental support did not significantly predict adolescents’ CES. These results supported the chain mediation model for the intergenerational transmission of CES. In addition, there was no significant gender difference in the intergenerational transmission of CES. This study provides some insights into the mechanism of the intergenerational transmission of CES in Chinese families and has implications for family education.

摘要： 采取整群抽样的方式对407户初中生家庭进行调查，探讨父母支持和子女基本心理需要满足在核心自我评价代际传递过程中的链式中介作用。结果表明：（1）核心自我评价在父母与其初中生子女之间存在代际传递效应；（2）父母支持和子女基本心理需要满足在核心自我评价的代际传递中起链式中介作用；（3）核心自我评价的代际传递效应不存在显著的亲代性别、子代性别、亲子性别差异。研究结果有助于理解核心自我评价的代际传递过程。
