Relationship among parent-child attachment,self-esteem and violent attitude in college students
Objective To explore the influence of parent-child attachment on violent attitudes of college students,and analyse the mediating role of self-esteem between parent-child attachment and violent attitudes of college students.Methods Parent-child attachment sub-questionnaire of Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment,Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and Impulsive Tendency subscale of Abnormal Personality Risk Factors Inventory were used to investigate 524 college students randomly selected.Descriptive statistics,correlation analysis,regression analysis and other methods were used for analysis,and the mediation effect was tested by the method of Bootstrap in the Process v4.1 plug-in.Results The total score of parent-child attachment questionnaire was 48.56±13.23;the total score of the self-esteem scale was 29.92±7.41;the total score of violent attitude questionnaire was 2.56±1.38.Parent-child attachment of college students were negatively correlated with violent attitudes(r=-0.86,P<0.01).Parent-child attachment of college students were positively correlated with self-esteem(r=0.94,P<0.01).The self-esteem of college students was nega-tively correlated with the violent attitude(r=-0.85,P<0.01).Parent-child attachment and self-esteem can negatively predict violent attitude(β=-0.86、-0.36,t=-26.45、-3.88,P<0.01);The dimensions of parent-child communica-tion,trust and alienation can also negatively predict violent attitude(β=-0.31、-0.37、-0.24,t=-3.87、-4.59、-4.17,P<0.01).Parent-child attachment positively predicts self-esteem(β=0.79,t=44.40,P<0.01).The self-esteem of college students has a partial mediating effect on parent-child attachment and violence attitude.The 95%confi-dence interval of Bootstrap is-0.16~-0.04,and the mediating effect size is-0.10.Conclusion The higher the parent-child attachment and self-esteem of college students are,the weaker the violent attitude is;Parent-child attach-ment has a direct inhibitory effect on violent attitude,and can also influence violent attitude through self-esteem indirectly.
