社会支持和焦虑的关系:未来时间洞察力的中介作用

The relationship of social support and anxiety:The mediation effect of future time perspective

本研究采用问卷调查法收集998份样本数据,旨在探究社会支持、未来时间洞察力和焦虑的关系。研究发现:(1)社会支持显著负向预测焦虑;(2)社会支持显著正向预测未来机会,与未来限制则不存在相关;(3)未来机会显著负向预测焦虑,未来限制显著正向预测焦虑;(4)未来机会在社会支持和焦虑之间起部分中介作用。研究结果为个体缓解焦虑情绪提供了依据和启示,个体所获得的社会支持有利于降低焦虑,同时,社会支持可以通过使个体对未来充满希望,进而减少焦虑情绪。

Aimed to explore the relationship and mechanism of social support and anxiety,a sample of 998 participants was recruited for the survey research.The results showed that:(1)Social support had a significant negative correlation with anxiety;(2)Social support had a significant positive correlation with open-ended FTP,but didn't have a significant correlation with limited FTP;(3)Open-ended FTP had a significant negative correlation with anxiety,while limited FTP had a significant positive correlation with anxiety;(4)Social support significantly exerted indirect effects on anxiety through the mediation of open-ended FTP,but the indirect effect of social support on anxiety through limited FTP was not significant.The present study may contribute to a better understanding of the effects as well as its paths and condi-tions of social support and FTP on anxiety.Moreover,it can also provide constructive suggestions for re-ducing anxiety in the new era.
