| ’Born to be able to raise,nurture and teach,and teach properly’ is an important family education ability,and parents should bear important responsibilities in family education and play an important role as a consensus.In the traditional concept of family upbringing,mothers bear more responsibility for raising children than fathers,but under the promotion of the new concept of social education in the new era,fathers’ awareness of parenting gradually awakens,and fathers are more aware of the importance of their own behavior in front of their children,which can have a positive impact on their children’s growth and development.Middle school students are in a critical period of growth and development,and key changes will occur in psychological behavior during adolescence.Relevant studies have found that a high level of fatherhood is more likely to affect the development of children’s psychological adaptation than that of mothers.The in-depth excavation of its influence process mechanism has important educational value.This paper aims to explore the influence mechanism of father’s reign on the social adaptation of middle school students,based on the Father Presence dynamic model,Vygotsky scaffold theory and Self-determination theory,construct a research framework,and analyze Father Presence and Father-child communication,Executive Function,and Social adaption.Through qualitative interviews and quantitative empirical research,680 middle school students from 6 middle schools in Jilin City and Wuxi City were used as the survey sample,and the following conclusions were drawn:1.The correlation analysis results showed that there were significant positive correlations between the four variables of father’s reign,parent-child communication,executive function and social adaptation,among which the father’s position,parent-child communication and executive function were significantly positively correlated with self-adaptation in middle school students’ social adaptation,and the correlation degree was the strongest.2.The results of regression analysis showed that father’s reign,parent-child communication and executive functions could significantly positively predict the social adaptation of middle school students.In the dimension of father’s position: material security,overall intention and future planning can significantly positively predict the social adaptation of middle school students,and the predictive effect of future planning is the strongest(β=0.17,t=3.01***);Demand satisfaction and dominance control in parent-child communication can significantly positively predict the social adaptation of middle school students,and dominance control has the strongest predictive effect(β=0.33,t=6.14***).Among the executive functions,organizational organization and strategic planning can significantly predict the social adaptation of middle school students,and organizational organization has the strongest predictive effect(β=0.28,t=5.09***).3.The results of intermediary effect showed that parent-child communication played a partial mediating role in the father’s reign and the social adaptation of middle school students,and the satisfaction of needs significantly affected the social adaptation of middle school students indirectly through parent-child communication;Executive function plays a part-mediating role in the father’s reign and middle school students’ social adaptation,in which motivational drive and inhibitory control significantly affect middle school students’ social adaptation through executive function.Parent-child communication and executive function play a chain mediating role in the father’s reign and the social adaptation of middle school students;4.The results of the difference analysis showed that there were no significant differences in father’s position,parent-child communication,and executive function among middle school students’ gender,grade,and whether they were only children.Based on the above results,this paper makes suggestions from the family parenting environment and the development of middle school students’ own growth to improve the social adaptation of middle school students. |
