流言让人分心:校园负面八卦对中学生上课走神的影响

Gossip Is Distracting You: The Impact of Negative School Gossip on Middle School Students' Mind Wandering in Class

为探讨校园负面八卦对中学生上课走神的影响及其作用机制,本研究基于执行控制失败理论和性别角色理论建构了一个有调节的中介模型。采取整群抽样法,以778名中学生为被试,采用校园负面八卦量表、超简抑郁焦虑筛查量表和青少年心智游移问卷进行调查,结果显示:(1)在控制年龄的条件下,校园负面八卦显著正向预测中学生上课走神;(2)消极情绪在校园负面八卦与中学生上课走神之间起完全中介作用;(3)性别调节校园负面八卦通过消极情绪影响中学生上课走神的前半段路径。具体来说,相比于男生,校园负面八卦对女生消极情绪的预测作用更大。研究结果从人际压力和不良情绪的角度揭示了中学生上课走神的形成机制,对其干预具有一定参考价值。

In order to examine the effect of negative school gossip on middle school students' mind wandering in class and its mechanism, based on the executive failure hypothesis and sex-role theory, the present study constructed a moderated mediation model. By cluster sampling method, a sample of 778 junior and senior high school students was recruited to complete the negative school gossip scale, patient health questionnaire 4, and mind wandering questionnaire for youth. Results showed that:(1) After controlling for age, negative school gossip significantly positively predicted middle school students' mind wandering in class;(2) Negative emotion played a full mediating effect in the relationship between negative school gossip and mind wandering in class;(3) Gender moderated the first path of this mediating effect, such that the indirect effect was much stronger for girls than for boys. These findings revealed the formation mechanism of adolescents' mind wandering in class from the perspective of interpersonal stress and unhealthy emotion, which had a certain reference value for the intervention.
