Abstract

To determine how parental guan is related to social-emotional development in adulthood and how demographic controls might influence the prediction of parental guan on social-emotional development, 176 adults completed a series of questionnaires. We expected that both maternal and paternal guan would be positively related to secure attachment in adulthood, emotion regulation, self-esteem, and social self-esteem, but negatively related to avoidance and anxious attachment in adulthood. Pearson correlations largely supported these expectations. Moreover, the results of hierarchical regression analyses indicated that paternal guan was positively related to self-esteem but negatively related to anxious attachment in adulthood. Maternal guan, on the other hand, significantly predicted emotion regulation. Both maternal and paternal guan were significantly related to secure adult attachment and social self-esteem. Age, gender, and family structure contributed additional variance in some variables. We discuss our results in terms of the protective role of guan parenting in a child’s life.

摘要

为了确定父母关与成年社会情感发展的关系以及人口控制如何影响父母关对社会情感发展的预测，176 名成年人完成了一系列调查问卷。我们预计母性和父性关都与成年后的安全依恋、情绪调节、自尊和社会自尊呈正相关，但与成年后的回避和焦虑依恋呈负相关。皮尔逊相关性在很大程度上支持了这些预期。此外，层次回归分析的结果表明，父亲关与成年后的自尊呈正相关，但与焦虑依恋呈负相关。另一方面，关母能显着预测情绪调节。母系和父系关都与成人安全依恋和社会自尊显着相关。年龄、性别和家庭结构在一些变量中贡献了额外的差异。我们根据管教在孩子生活中的保护作用来讨论我们的结果。
