初中生家庭亲密度与生命意义感间感恩的中介作用

The Mediating Role of Gratitude in the Relationship between Family Cohesion and Sense of Life Meaning among Junior High School Students

摘要: 目的：探讨家庭亲密度与生命意义感之间的关系，以及感恩在其中的中介机制，为提升初中生的生命意义感水平提供参考。方法：本研究于2024年9月，采取分层整群随机抽样的方法，选取宝鸡某中学420名初中生作为研究对象，运用家庭亲密度和适应性量表中文版、生命意义感量表、青少年感恩量表，通过问卷调查收集数据，采用SPSS26.0软件进行统计分析。结果：初中生家庭亲密度得分为(64.35 ± 13.22)分，生命意义感得分为(47.47 ± 11.93)分，感恩量表得分为(88.55 ± 14.26)分。初中生家庭亲密度与生命意义感之间呈正相关(r = 0.438, P < 0.01)，与感恩之间呈正相关(r = 0.499, P < 0.01)，家庭亲密度与感恩之间呈正相关。感恩在家庭亲密度与生命意义感之间起部分中介作用(β = 0.251, t = 5.748, P < 0.01)，且中介作用显著，中介效应占总效应的26.10%。结论：初中生家庭亲密度对其生命意义感具有显著正向预测作用，即初中生的家庭亲密度越高，对生命价值和生活目标的主观体验就越强，感恩在家庭亲密度与生命意义感的关系中起部分中介作用，初中生的家庭亲密度通过培养感恩品质来提高其生命意义感。

Abstract: Objective: To explore the relationship between family cohesion and the sense of meaning in life, as well as the mediating mechanism of gratitude in it, so as to provide a reference for improving the level of the sense of meaning in life among junior high school students. Methods: In September 2024, a stratified cluster random sampling method was adopted to select 420 junior high school students from a middle school in Baoji as the research objects. The Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scale II (Chinese Version), the Meaning in Life Questionnaire (Chinese Version), and the Adolescent Gratitude Scale were used to collect data through questionnaires. SPSS 26.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Results: The score of family cohesion among junior high school students was (64.35 ± 13.22), the score of sense of meaning in life was (47.47 ± 11.93), and the score of gratitude scale was (88.55 ± 14.26). Family cohesion was positively correlated with sense of meaning in life (r = 0.438, P < 0.01) and gratitude (r = 0.499, P < 0.01). Gratitude played a partial mediating role in the relationship between family cohesion and sense of meaning in life (β = 0.251, t = 5.748, P < 0.01), and the mediating effect was significant, accounting for 26.10% of the total effect. Conclusion: Family cohesion positively predicts sense of meaning in life among junior high school students. Specifically, higher family cohesion is associated with a stronger sense of life value and purpose. Gratitude plays a partial mediating role in this relationship, suggesting that family cohesion enhances sense of meaning in life by fostering gratitude.
