Children in familiar or strange environment will have social withdrawal behavior,which is a common phenomenon in the growth stage of children.Studies have shown that children's social withdrawal behavior may lead to children's negative autonomy,low social ability,emotional management disorders and other problems,which is not conducive to their future social adaptation.Many factors can cause children to appear social withdrawal behavior,among which family factors play a crucial role.Children spend most of their time in a family environment,and their parents are the first teachers.Parents' education methods and ideas have an important impact on children's growth.Parental psychological control is a parenting behavior in which parents invade children's thoughts and emotions by means of causing guilt or anxiety,which can easily lead to children's psychosocial dysfunction.Previous studies have shown that in addition to parental rearing patterns,parent-child attachment and family emotional atmosphere play an important role in children's mental health and social behavior development.Therefore,this study explores the influence of parental psychological control on children's social withdrawal behavior,as well as the role of parent-child attachment and family emotional display,in order to contribute to the healthy development of children's social behavior.In this study,778 parents and teachers of children aged 3-6 in kindergartens of Henan and Shandong provinces were selected as the research objects for questionnaire survey by cluster sampling.Since children are young,their social withdrawal behavior is evaluated by class teachers,and their parents' level of psychological control,parent-child attachment and family emotional display are reported by their parents.By using a variety of statistical methods,this paper investigates the demographic differences between children's social withdrawal behavior and parents' psychological control and the relationship between children's social withdrawal behavior and parents' psychological control,parent-child attachment and family emotional display,and draws the following conclusions:(1)Social withdrawal behavior of children aged 3-6 has significant differences in gender and whether the child is an only child;The negative control dimension of parental psychological control has significant difference in parental educational level.(2)The four variables of parental psychological control,parent-child attachment,family emotional display,and children's social withdrawal behavior were significantly correlated,and parental psychological control was positively correlated with family negative emotional display and children's social withdrawal behavior,but negatively correlated with parent-child attachment and positive emotional display.(3)Parent-child attachment plays a partial mediating role between parents' psychological control and children's social withdrawal behavior.Parents' psychological control can reduce the probability of children's social withdrawal behavior,and parents' psychological control has a negative predictive effect on children's social withdrawal behavior.(4)Family emotional display regulates the influence of parent-child attachment on children's social withdrawal behavior.Specifically,the higher the level of negative emotions in the family,the more significant the negative predictive effect of parent-child attachment on children's social withdrawal behavior,and vice versa.The lower the level of positive emotions in the family,the stronger the negative influence of parent-child attachment on the social withdrawal behavior of children,and vice versa.(5)Family emotional disclosure plays a regulating role in the second half of the mediating path of "parents' psychological control--parent-child attachment--children's social withdrawal behavior",and forms a regulated mediating model.
