The Effects of Early Cumulative Family Risk on Internalization Problems in Adolescents: A Dual Mechanism of Resilience

Abstract

Abstract: The present study explored the relationship between early cumulative family risk and internalization problem of adolescents and its psychological mechanism. A total number of 780 teenagers were surveyed by using the cumulative family risk scale, personal growth initiative scale, perceived social support scale and YSR-CV. The results indicated that: 1) the cumulative family risk was significantly associated to internalization problems of adolescents; 2) the personal growth initiative and perceived social support parallelly mediated the link between cumulative family risk and internalization problem. The present study uncovered the potential mechanisms between cumulative family risk and internalization problems, which had certain significance of preventing and intervening problem behavior among adolescents.

Key words: teenagers, cumulative family risk, personal growth initiative, social support, internalization problems

摘要： 为了解早期累积家庭风险因素对青少年内化问题的影响及其心理机制，采用累积家庭风险问卷、个人成长主动性问卷、领悟社会支持问卷以及青少年内化问题问卷对780名青少年进行调查。结果表明：（1）累积家庭风险对青少年内化问题具有显著的正向预测作用；（2）累积家庭风险因素还通过个人成长主动性和领悟社会支持的中介作用影响青少年内化问题。研究结果有助于揭示累积家庭风险对青少年内化问题的影响机制，对预防以及减少青少年内化问题行为具有一定的启示作用。
