The Influence Of Social Support On The Problem Behavior Of Junior High School Students

Problem Behavior is a kind of behavior,one can have,that is different with normal peers' due to physiological underdevelopment or external factors influence.Problem Behaviors can adversely affect one's own and also their schools,sometimes even the whole society.Junior school students' physiological and psychological state is of rapid development,as a result,their behaviors and mental state are easily to fluctuate.So it is no surprise to see junior students trapped in Problem Behaviors so often.With junior high school students as object,based on "problem behavior theory","ecosystem theory" and "social support theory",this thesis takes Social Support as antecedent variable,selecting Resilience and Sense of School Membership as mediating variables.After the concepts,dimensions,measurement methods of Problem Behaviors,Social Support,Resilience and Sense of School Membership were systematically investigated,we came up with hypothesis and model.The data of 1109 junior school students from 9 middle schools in Nanchang was collected with the method of stratified sampling and random sampling.SPSS23.0 was used to conduct correlation analysis and regression analysis while Mplus8.3 was used to verify the fitting degree of the model,furthermore model's stability in junior school students' different demographic variables was explored so as to provide theoretical foundation and practical guidance for finding ways to solve their problem behaviors,also safeguarding their growth.The main research results are as follows:(1)Junior school students have high scores in Social Support and its various dimensions,also in Resilience and Sense of School Membership;Junior school students have low scores in Problem Behaviors and also in its dimensions.(2)Junior school students' Social Support,also its dimensions,is positively correlated with Resilience and Sense of School Membership Problem Behaviors,also its dimensions,are negatively correlated with Social Support,including its dimensions,Sense of School Membership and Resilience.(3)Subjective Social Support can positively predict junior school students'Resilience and Sense of School Membership,negatively predict their Introverted Problem Behaviors and Extroverted Problem Behaviors.Objective Social Support can positively predict students'Resilience and Sense of School Membership,and negatively predict their Introverted and Extroverted Problem Behaviors.The Utilization of Social Support can positively predict students' Resilience and Sense of School Membership,and negatively predict their Introverted Problem Behaviors and Extroverted Problem Behaviors.(4)Resilience and Sense of School Membership have chain mediating effect between junior school students' Subjective Social Support and Extroverted Problem Behaviors,Subjective Social Support and Introverted Problem Behaviors,Objective Social Support and Extroverted Problem Behaviors,Objective Social Support and Introverted Problem Behaviors,Utilization of Social Support and Extroverted Problem Behaviors.(5)The chain mediating effects between junior school students' Social Support and Problem Behaviors in different groups are different.The stability of chain mediating effect that is between Subjective Social Support and Extroverted Problem Behaviors,Utilization of Social Support and Extroverted Problem Behaviors,Objective Social Support and Extroverted Problem Behaviors is influenced by gender.The stability of chain mediating effect that is between Subjective Social Support and Introverted Problem Behaviors,Objective Social Support and Extroverted Problem Behaviors is affected by if they are the only child of the family.The stability of chain mediating effect that is between Objective Social Support and Extroverted Problem Behaviors is influenced by whether students live in school.
