孤独症儿童父母负面评价恐惧和社交焦虑的关系:一个有调节的中介效应模型

The Relationship Between Fear of Negative Evaluation and Social Anxiety in Parents of Autistic Children:A Moderated Mediation Model

为探讨孤独症儿童父母领悟社会支持在负面评价恐惧和社交焦虑之间的关系,采用负面评价恐惧量表、领悟社会支持量表、社交焦虑量表对582名孤独症儿童父亲或母亲进行了调查。结果表明:(1)负面评价恐惧显著正向预测孤独症儿童父母的社交焦虑;(2)领悟社会支持在孤独症儿童父母的负面评价恐惧与社交焦虑之间起部分中介作用;(3)性别调节负面评价恐惧→领悟社会支持→社交焦虑这一中介模型的前半路径。孤独症儿童母亲群体负面评价恐惧通过领悟社会支持影响社交焦虑的中介效应显著,在父亲群体中不显著。本研究揭示了孤独症儿童父母的负面评价恐惧与社交焦虑的关系及其作用机制,对缓解孤独症儿童父母社交焦虑有一定启示作用。
