Parent-child Attachment And Adolescent Social Anxiety:the Mediating Role Of Evaluation Fear And The Moderating Role Of Collectivism Orientation

Adolescence is a critical period of individual growth and development,and it is also a period of frequent psychological problems such as social anxiety.Teenagers are in the turbulent physical and mental development,there is a huge contradiction between the rise of self-awareness and the desire for intimacy,which is very easy to avoid and retreat in social behavior.With the gradual aging of social anxiety,how to prevent and alleviate teenagers’ social anxiety has become a problem that we can not ignore.The purpose of this study is to explore the effects of parent-child attachment,evaluation fear and collectivism orientation on adolescents’ social anxiety,and try to find the different mechanisms of father-child attachment and mother-child attachment,as well as the differences in the mediating effects of negative evaluation fear and positive evaluation fear,and to explore whether collectivism orientation can only regulate the effect of parent-child attachment on positive evaluation fear.A total of 1053 junior and senior high school students were selected to explore the current situation and relationship of adolescent parent-child attachment,social anxiety,evaluation fear and collectivism orientation.The results show that:（1）There are significant differences in gender,grade and whether to be a class cadre.Among them,the parent-attachment level of girls is lower,the evaluation fear and social anxiety level of girls are higher,the parent-child attachment and collectivism orientation level of junior middle school students are higher,and the father-child attachment level of monitor is higher.（2）Both father-child attachment and mother-child attachment can significantly negatively predict adolescents’ social anxiety,and the overall prediction effect is the same,but the direct prediction effect of father-child attachment is stronger.（3）Positive appraisal fear and negative appraisal fear play a partial mediating role between parent-child attachment and adolescent social anxiety respectively,but the relative mediating role of positive appraisal fear is stronger.（4）High collectivism orientation intensifies the negative predictive effect of parent-child attachment on the fear of positive evaluation,but has little effect on the fear of negative evaluation.Based on the analysis of the above results,the conclusions are as follows.First of all,the two kinds of parent-child attachment have the same negative predictive effect on adolescents’ social anxiety,and the direct effect of father-child attachment is stronger.Secondly,the relative mediating effect of positive appraisal fear is stronger than negative appraisal fear,and collectivism orientation only regulates the process from parent-child attachment to positive appraisal fear.
