高年级小学生父母教养倦怠与问题性网络游戏使用：疏离感的中介作用

Parental Burnout and Problematic Online Game Use among Upper Elementary School Students: The Mediating Role of Alienation

摘要: 数字时代下儿童问题性网络游戏使用问题日益严峻。本研究基于家庭系统与补偿性网络使用理论，旨在探讨儿童疏离感在父母教养倦怠与问题性网络游戏使用之间的作用机制。研究采用整群抽样法对山东省两地1178名高年级小学生及其家长进行问卷调查。结果显示，父母教养倦怠与问题性网络游戏使用的直接路径不显著，但能显著正向预测儿童疏离感，进而显著预测问题性网络游戏使用。儿童疏离感在其中起完全中介作用。研究揭示了家庭系统风险向儿童个体心理适应不良的转化路径，提示可以通过增强亲子情感联结来引导儿童合理使用网络。

Abstract: In the digital age, children’s problematic online game use has become an increasingly serious issue. Grounded in family system theory and compensatory internet use theory, this study aimed to explore the mechanism through which children’s alienation mediates the relationship between parental burnout and problematic online game use. Using cluster sampling, a survey was conducted among 1178 upper elementary school students and their parents from two cities in Shandong Province. The results showed that the direct path between parental burnout and problematic online game use was not significant; however, parental burnout significantly and positively predicted children’s alienation, which in turn significantly predicted problematic online game use. Children’s alienation played a complete mediating role in this relationship. This study reveals a pathway through which family system risks are transformed into individual psychological maladjustment in children, suggesting that enhancing parent-child emotional bonding may help guide children toward appropriate internet use.
