A network analysis of relationship between high school students'future orientation,parental psychological control and school climate
Objective:To explore the relationship between parental psychological control,school climate and future orientation of high school students.Methods:Totally1 430 senior high school students were evaluated with parental control questionnaire,Adolescent perceived Campus atmosphere questionnaire and Adolescent Future orien-tation questionnaire.The moderating effect of school climate was analyzed using Modell of the PROCESS mac-ro.The bridge function in the network analysis methodology was usedto calculate the bridge expected influence in-dex to evaluate the bridge nodes between parental psychological control and future orientation network,school cli-mate and future orientation network.Results:The analysis of moderating effects shows a negative correlation be-tween parental psychological control and future orientation(β=-0.11,P<0.001).Both positive and average school climates demonstrated a positive moderating effect(β=-0.11,-0.17,P<0.001).The bridge expected impact index showed that the bridge connection nodes of parental psychological control and campus atmosphere on future orientation were guilt-thoughtfulness(bridge El=0.23,0.19)and teacher support-optimism(bridge EI=0.19,0.15).Conclusion:A positive school climate could mitigate the negative effects of parental psychological control on high school students'future orientation,with future emotional experience being a key aspect in how both influence the students'future direction.
