Abstract

Abstract:

Utilizing a comprehensive data survey involving 511 adolescents, this study explored the pivotal symptoms of adolescents’ interpersonal distress. Also, we examined the influence of parent-child attachment and psychological boundaries on adolescents’ interpersonal distress by using network analysis method. The results showed that: 1) The core symptoms of adolescents’ interpersonal distress were “ostracism and indifference from others”, “highly susceptible to embarrassment”, “having no one to confide in one’s worries”, and “not knowing how to stop at the right boundaries with the opposite sex”. 2) No significant gender differences were observed in the network structure, global strength and centrality of adolescents’ interpersonal distress. However, significant gender differences existed in the intensity of symptom d23. 3) Interpersonal communication distress was the center node of the network; parent-child alienation and psychological boundaries were the important bridging nodes connecting parent-child attachment and interpersonal distress. This study reveals the influence of parent-child attachment and psychological boundaries on adolescents’ interpersonal distress.

Key words: network analysis, interpersonal distress, parent-child attachment, psychological boundary, adolescents

摘要：

基于对511名青少年的有效数据调查，使用网络分析方法考察青少年人际困扰的核心症状，并探讨亲子依恋和心理边界影响青少年人际困扰的网络关系。结果发现：(1)青少年人际困扰核心症状是“受别人排斥与冷漠”“极易受窘”“自己的烦恼无人可倾诉”“不知道与异性相处如何适可而止”。(2)青少年人际困扰的网络结构、整体连接强度、中心性上总体无显著性别差异，仅在症状d23(受别人排斥与冷漠)的强度上存在显著性别差异。(3)交谈交流困扰是整个网络的中心；亲子疏离和心理边界是青少年亲子依恋和人际困扰的重要桥连节点。本研究揭示了亲子依恋和心理边界对青少年人际困扰的影响路径，对预防青少年人际困扰具有启示意义。
