初中生偶像崇拜及其与生活目标和主观幸福感的关系:性别的调节作用

Celebrity Worship and Its Relationship with Aspirations and Subjective Well-being of Junior Middle School Students:The Moderating Effect of Gender

本研究以3587名初中生为对象,采用问卷测量法,考察了初中生偶像崇拜在性别和年级上的差异,及其与生活目标和主观幸福感的关系,并探究了性别在其中的调节作用。研究发现:(1)女生的偶像崇拜水平显著高于男生的,且偶像崇拜高水平组中女生人数显著多于男生,偶像崇拜低水平组中则相反;初一与初二年级间偶像崇拜的水平及在不同水平上的人数分布均无显著差异。(2)外在生活目标能够正向预测初中生的偶像崇拜水平,其中性别起调节作用,外在生活目标对女生偶像崇拜水平的影响大于男生。(3)性别对偶像崇拜影响初中生主观幸福感上也具有调节作用,即偶像崇拜水平负向预测初中女生的主观幸福感,对男生的主观幸福感则影响不显著。

The present study used questionnaires to investigate 3587 junior middle school students about the differences of celebrity worship differences between gender and grade. This study also explored the relationships between celebrity worship and extrinsic/intrinsic aspirations and subjective well-being, as well as the moderating effect of gender on the associations. The results are as follows, （ 1 ） Girls＇ celebrity worship level were much higher than boys＇. Besides, there were more girls than boys in the group of high celebrity worship. Neither the level of celebrity worship nor the numbers of students in any level group was found significantly different between the grades. （2） Extrinsic aspirations, but not the intrinsic aspirations, positively predicted celebrity worship. Gender moderated the relationship between the extrinsic aspirations and celebrity worship. Further analysis indicated that extrinsic aspirations had more effect on girls than boys. （3） Because of the moderating effect, celebrity worship only negatively predicted girls＇ subjective well-being, while none significant association was observed among boys.
