ABSTRACT

This study examined the power of young adults’ resilience to help deter emotional labor with parents and examined emotional labor as a mediator predicting decreased relational satisfaction. Young adults (N = 257) completed an online questionnaire. Results demonstrated an inverse relationship between their resilience and emotional labor with parents, and showed that emotional labor may function as a type of relational load, helping to explain why young adults with decreased resilience may also experience decreased relational satisfaction with parents. Guided by the theory of resilience and relational load, this study contributes to a better understanding of resilience and emotion work in family communication.

摘要

这项研究检验了年轻人的复原力有助于阻止父母情绪劳动的力量，并检查了情绪劳动作为预测关系满意度下降的中介因素。年轻人 ( N = 257) 完成了在线问卷调查。结果表明，他们的复原力和与父母的情绪劳动之间存在反比关系，并表明情绪劳动可能作为一种关系负荷发挥作用，这有助于解释为什么复原力下降的年轻人也可能会经历与父母的关系满意度下降。本研究以复原力和关系负荷理论为指导，有助于更好地理解家庭沟通中的复原力和情绪工作。
