家庭社会经济地位和儿童抑郁：母亲拒绝和情感温暖的中介作用

Family Socioeconomic Status and Childhood Depression: The Mediating Role of Maternal Rejection and Emotional Warmth

摘要: 本研究主要考察家庭社会经济地位与儿童抑郁之间的内在关系以及母亲教养方式在二者关系间的中介作用。具体地，以473名儿童为对象，分别完成家庭社会经济地位、父母教养方式和儿童抑郁症状问卷的调查。研究结果显示，家庭社会经济地位与儿童抑郁存在显著的负向关系。母亲拒绝、母亲情感温暖在家庭社会经济地位与儿童抑郁之间起部分中介作用，但母亲过度保护在二者关系间的中介作用不显著。这一结果表明，教养方式中的拒绝和情感温暖维度在家庭社会经济地位和儿童抑郁之间起着中介效应作用。

Abstract: This study mainly investigated the relationship between family socioeconomic status and childhood depression and the mediating role of maternal parenting style in the relationship. Specifically, 473 children were asked to complete the measures of variables, including family socioeconomic status, parenting style, and children’s depressive symptoms. The results showed that there was a significant negative relationship between family socioeconomic status and childhood depression. Maternal rejection and maternal emotional warmth played a partial mediating role in the relationship between family socioeconomic status and childhood depression, but the mediating effect of maternal overprotection in the relationship between the two was not significant. This result suggests that the dimensions of rejection and emotional warmth in parenting style play a mediating role in the relationship between family socioeconomic status and childhood depression.
