The Relationship Between Offline Self-disclosure And Alienation Of Junior Three Student: The Mechanism Of Perceived Social Support And Imaginary Audience

The middle school entrance examinations mean the end of students’ nine-year compulsory education,and junior high school students are about to face the screening and elimination of the examination system,whether they can balance their academic performance and psychological development during the critical period of physical and mental development has become one of the urgent concerns of nurturers and educators,junior high school students are prone to a sense of alienation due to the heavy study tasks occupying their lives.A sense of alienation occurs as a result of alienation from normal relationships,which causes the individual to develop a range of negative emotions.Schools and parents need to be aware of the factors that influence feelings of alienation during this period to prevent and reduce unnecessary alienation for Junior 3 students.There is not much current research on alienation among junior high students,and there are fewer mixedmethod studies(combining quantitative and qualitative).In order to understand the basic situation of offline self-disclosure,alienation,perceived social support,and imaginary audience in a junior high school of a middle school in Xiamen,the relationship between the four variables was explored.This study is divided into two parts.The first part is a quantitative study.Using 623 middle school students as the test subjects,the Chinese version of the General Alienation Scale translated by Wei Chen and the Chinese version of the Self-disclosure Questionnaire translated by Xiaoyan Zheng were used.The Chinese version of the Perceived Social Support Multidimensional Scale translated by Qianjin Jiang and the Imaginary Audience Scale compiled by Jianrong Liu collected relevant data,and finally collected 508 valid questionnaires to analyze the relationship between the four variables.The second part is a qualitative study.Through interviews with 8 students(4 males and 4 females)in the test group,the results of quantitative research are further explored.the result shows:First,the level of alienation among students in the third-grade students in this study is in the upper middle range,and there are no significant differences in gender,only child,and place of birth.Second,junior school students’ alienation was negatively correlated with selfdisclosure offline and perceived social support,and regression analysis found that selfdisclosure offline and perceived social support negatively predicted the alienation;The alienation was positively correlated with imaginary audience,and through regression analysis,imaginary audience positively predicted alienation.Third,the mediating effects test used Process 3.3 found that the three dimensions of perceived social support: perceived family support,perceived friend support,and perceived other support all played a fully mediating role in the effect of self-disclosure offline on feelings of alienation.Fourth,imaginary audience perceptions did not moderate the process of perceiving family support mediation;however,they do moderate the first half of the path of perceiving friend support mediation and the process of perceiving other support mediation.
