The Relationship and Difference Between Parental Phubbing and Adolescents’ Callous-Unemotional Traits: A Chain Mediation Effect

doi:10.12139/j.1672-0628.2023.05.010

Abstract

Abstract:

To investigate the relationship between parental phubbing and adolescents’ callous-unemotional traits, 529 adolescents were investigated using the Parental Phubbing Scale, the Callous-Unemotional Traits Scale, the Perceived Parental Rejection Scale and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. The results showed that: 1) Fathers significantly displayed more phubbing than mothers, while perceived mothers’ rejection was significantly higher than perceived fathers’ rejection. 2) Parental phubbing was positively associated with adolescents’ callous-unemotional traits. 3) Adolescents’ self-esteem mediated the relationship between parental phubbing and adolescents’ callous-unemotional traits. 4) Parental phubbing affected the callous-unemotional traits of adolescents through the chain mediation of perceived fathers’ (mothers’) rejection and self-esteem. 5) There were parental differences in the chained mediation model. Fathers’ phubbing mainly predicted adolescents’ callous-unemotional traits indirectly through adolescents’ self-esteem, while mothers’ phubbing directly predicted adolescents’ callous-unemotional traits. It is of great enlightening significance to focus on the intervention of adolescents’ callous-unemotional traits.

Key words: parental phubbing, self-esteem, callous-unemotional traits, adolescents

摘要：

为考察父母低头行为与青少年冷酷无情特质的关系，采用父母低头行为量表、冷酷无情特质量表、感知到的父母拒绝量表和罗森伯格自尊量表对529名中国青少年进行调查。结果显示：(1)父亲低头行为显著多于母亲低头行为，而感知到的母亲拒绝显著多于感知到的父亲拒绝。(2)父母低头行为能正向预测青少年冷酷无情特质。(3)青少年自尊在父母低头行为和青少年冷酷无情特质之间起中介作用。(4)感知到的父母拒绝和青少年自尊在父母低头行为和青少年冷酷无情特质之间起链式中介作用。(5)链式中介模型存在父母差异，父亲低头行为主要通过青少年自尊间接预测青少年冷酷无情特质，而母亲低头行为更多是通过直接的方式预测青少年冷酷无情特质。
