ABSTRACT

Resilience is important for students transitioning to college given vast attrition rates due to the stress of change and new challenges. This study applied family communication patterns theory (FCP) to explore the relationships among family environment, helicopter parenting, and student resilience. Two mediation models were tested with survey data from 2,253 people in their first semester of college in the United States. Both conversation and conformity orientations were positively associated with perceived helicopter parenting behaviors. However, only conversation orientation was positively associated with resilience. Helicopter parenting mediated the relationship between FCP and resilience. Theoretical and translational implications for scholars and parents are discussed.

摘要

由于变化带来的压力和新挑战，在大流失率的情况下，韧性对于过渡到大学的学生来说非常重要。这项研究应用家庭沟通模式理论（FCP）来探讨家庭环境，直升机育儿和学生适应能力之间的关系。在美国大学学期的第一学期，使用来自2,253人的调查数据测试了两种中介模型。谈话和顺从性取向都与直觉的直升机养育行为呈正相关。但是，只有谈话方向与韧性具有正相关。直升机育儿介导了FCP和弹性之间的关系。讨论了对学者和父母的理论和翻译意义。
