其他摘要 | In the rapidly developing information age, the widely integrated of mobile phones and our life styles makes mobile phones a necessity and phubbing ubiquitous. Parental phubbing refers to the rejection and neglect of children by parents because they look down at their mobile phones, This make children feel neglected, leading to a series of developmental problems, such as externalizing behavior problems. Child externalizing behavior problems not only cause adverse effects on their current growth, but also their future development. Therefore, the research on the emergence and mechanism of child externalizing behavior problems is of great value to ensure their healthy growth.
This study is mainly composed of into two parts. In the Study 1,the effects of parental phubbing behavior on children's externalizing behavior problems, as well as the intra- and inter-individual interactions between parental phubbing behavior and the mediating variables-parents' marital satisfaction, the intra- and inter-individual interactions between parental phubbing behavior and the mediating variables-co-parenting by parents, the intra- and inter-individual interactions between parents' marital satisfaction and co-parenting by parents and the moderating effects of children's gender were explored based on an actor-partner interdependence model with paired data analysis. A total of 492 pairs of parents of preschool children were recruited in this study. The Generic Phubbing Scale, Marital Satisfaction Scal, Co-parenting Relationship Scale, Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire and so on were used to complete the e-questionnaire anonymously. T test and one-way ANOVA were used to compare the differences in parental phubbing and externalizing behavior of children in different groups. Besides, the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model (APIM) was used to explore the influence mechanism of parents' phubbing on child externalizing behavior, the underlying mediating role of marital satisfaction and parental co-parenting, and the actor-partner interdependence model between parental phubbing and marital satisfaction, parental phubbing and parental active co-parenting, and parental marital satisfaction and parental co-parenting, and the moderating role of gender. In the Study 2, a total of 241 two-round father-tracking data and 464 two-round mother-tracking data were collected. The Generic Phubbing Scale and Strengths and Difficulties Scale, was used for web-based administration. The main study variables were tested for correlation analysis. Cross-lagged regression were constructed using AMOS to explore the cross-time bidirectional prediction relationship between paternal phubbing and children's externalizing behavior problems and between maternal phubbing behavior and children's externalizing behavior problems, as well as the moderating role of gender.
The results of Study 1 showed that: in terms of the demographic difference test the scores of children's externalizing behavior problems were significantly higher in the child, mothers under 35 years old, and other family structure groups (non-primary families and non-core Family). For the phubbing behavior, the scores of paternal phubbing behavior were significantly higher for fathers under 35 years old, fathers with college education or above, and mothers with college education or above. The scores of mothers with only child, mothers with college education or above, and other family structure were significantly higher. Paired-samples t-tests of both parents indicated that fathers' scores of phubbing behavior and marital satisfaction were significantly higher than that of mothers, while their scores of co-parenting were significantly lower. The actor-partner interdependence model found that parents' marital satisfaction had a significant mediating effect between parents' phubbing behavior and children's externalizing behavior problems, and the subject effect and object effect between parents' phubbing behavior and parents' marital satisfaction were significant, and no significant moderating effect was found in terms of children's gender. Besides, parents' co-parenting also had a significant mediating effect between parents' phubbing behavior and children's externalizing behavior problems. And the subject effect and object effect of father phubbing behavior and parents' co-parenting were significant, but only object effect is significant for mother phubbing behavior on father' co-parenting. Also, child gender had no moderating role in this. Both the actor and partner effects of the mediating variables-parental marital satisfaction and parental co-parenting were significant, and child gender showed no moderating effect. In Study 2, the cross-lagged regression showed significant across-time bidirectional prediction relationship between parents' phubbing behavior and child externalizing behavior problems, while child gender only had a moderating role between fathers' phubbing behavior and child externalizing behavior problems. For the boys' cohort, externalizing problems at T1 led to a significant increase maternal phubbing behavior at T2 (β=0,14,p<001), but not for girls (β=0,p<0.75).
Conclusion: There was actor-partner interdependence in the relationship between parental phubbing behavior and marital satisfaction. And only an object effect exists in of parental phubbing behavior and spousal co-parenting, and only an actor effect exists in paternal phubbing behavior and self co-parenting. Parental marital satisfaction and parental co-parenting mediated the effect of parental phubbing behavior on child externalizing behavior problems, respectively. And there was a cross-time bidirectional prediction effect cross-time bidirectional prediction effect parents' phubbing behavior and child externalizing behavior problems. Between the bidirectional prediction relationship between maternal phubbing behavior and children's externalizing behavior problems, boys' cohorts were more sensitive. |
