The Influence Of Parent-child Technological Interference On Adolescent Depression:the Mediating Role Of Dysfunctional Attitudes And The Moderating Role Of Parents’ Emotional Warmth

Depression is one of the most common psychological and emotional problems in adolescence,and its incidence is conservatively estimated as high as 12.5%.Depression has caused a great disease burden,so it has become an important public health work to give priority to the prevention and treatment of depression.As an important factor that can’t be ignored in teenagers’ emotional problems,and with the development of mobile and digital technologies,mobile devices,which have become an indispensable part of the family,technological interference between parents and children gradually appears and has an impact on teenagers’ depression.The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between parent-child technological interference and adolescent depression,and introduce two variables of parents’ emotional warmth and dysfunctional attitude to explore whether dysfunctional attitude plays an intermediary role between parent-child technological interference and adolescent depression,and whether parents’ emotional warmth regulates parent-child technological interference,dysfunctional attitude and adolescent depression,so as to enrich the research on parent-child technological interference and adolescent depression.In this study,917 students from Grade 1,Grade 2 of junior school,Grade 1 and Grade 2 of senior high school were selected as the research objects,and middle school students in Liaoning Province,Guangdong Province,Hunan Province and Qinghai Province were investigated by using the Science and Technology Interference Scale,the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale,the short-Egna Minnen av Barndom Uppfostran-Chinese,and the dysfunctional attitude questionnaire.SPSS21.0software was used to input the data and carry out correlation analysis,common method deviation test,independent sample t-test,and so on.SPSS macro program PROCESS was used to test the mediating effect and the moderating effect,and simple slope analysis was used to explore the relationship between the moderating effect on parent-child technological interference,adolescent depression,parents’ emotional warmth and dysfunctional attitude.The results show that:（1）There are significant differences in demographic variables,such as the interference of science and technology between parents and children,depression,dysfunctional attitude and emotional warmth of parents.（2）Parent-child technology interference,parental emotional warmth,dysfunctional attitude and depression are correlated.Parent-child technology interference and dysfunctional attitude positively predict adolescent depression.Parental emotional warmth negatively predict adolescent depression.（3）Dysfunctional attitudes play a mediating role in the effect of parent-child technology interference on adolescent depression.（4）Parental emotional warmth plays a moderating role in the latter half of the mediation model between parent-child technological interference and adolescent depression.
