“…First, parental neglect reduces support for children's psychosocial resources (Lim & Lee, 2017). Thus, youngsters struggle to cope with the threat of rejection (Li et al, 2019). Second, phubbers cause communication disruptions (Guazzini et al, 2021), which may increase children's anxious expectations of rejection when communicating with them.…”

The impact of parental phubbing has attracted the attention of researchers, especially concerning adolescents’ online behavior. However, limited research has studied the influence of parental phubbing on interpersonal aggression, including the underlying mechanism. Grounded in parental acceptance–rejection theory, the present study investigated the association between parental phubbing and interpersonal aggression as well as the mediating role of rejection sensitivity among adolescents. Additionally, school climate was explored as a moderator based on social ecological theory. The multiple questionnaires were completed by 914 Chinese adolescents ( M = 12.61; SD = 1.73; 49.78% girls). The results revealed a positive correlation between parental phubbing and aggression, which was mediated by rejection sensitivity. That is, adolescents who experienced parental phubbing were more likely to exhibit rejection sensitivity, which further triggered aggression. Moreover, school climate acted as a moderator in the model. Specifically, we found no significant moderating effect of school climate on parental phubbing and aggression. However, school climate moderated the relationship between rejection sensitivity and aggression. A positive school climate buffered the associations of rejection sensitivity and aggression. Additionally, school climate moderated the relationship between parental phubbing and rejection sensitivity. The relationship between parental phubbing and rejection sensitivity became nonsignificant when adolescents were in a negative school climate, and those adolescents reported higher rejection sensitivity whether they experienced parental phubbing or not. Parental phubbing was more strongly associated with adolescents’ rejection sensitivity in a positive school climate. With a lower level of parental phubbing, rejection sensitivity is sharply reduced. The results deepen our understanding of the relationship between parental phubbing and aggression and its underlying mechanisms. It also implicates preventative interventions to reduce the risk of parental phubbing in interpersonal aggression among adolescents.

“…Choon et al (2013) applying the final version of IPPA to Malaysian adolescents, showed negative relationships between adolescent delinquency and paternal/maternal attachment levels. Li et al (2022) concluded that paternal attachment was found to have a significantly alleviating effect on adolescent anxiety level. Wilkinson (2004) demonstrated that adolescents' parental attachment decreased their depression level by way of self-esteem.…”

Background: Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment (IPPA) has been widely used in various countries, in examining the effect of parent attachment on later mental health. However, a limited number of studies have verified its psychometric property, in particular, its three-factor structure originally proposed by Armsden & Greenberg. Purposes: This study aimed at examining whether or not the three-factor structure (Trust, Communication, Alienation) of the Japanese version of parent IPPA is valid and examining whether respondents' gender and/or their parents' gender affects their attachment security level. We further studied the hypothesis that parent attachment assessed by IPPA is influenced by past parenting, and will influence later mental health. Methods: Data from the questionnaire survey targeting Japanese college students was used for analyses. The three inventories: IPPA, Authoritarian parenting subscale from Parental Authority Questionnaire (PAQ), and Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation-Outcome Measure (CORE-OM), were used in the analyses of this study. After confirming factor structures of father and mother IPPAs by confirmatory factor analyses (CFA), ANOVAs were conducted to see whether respondent and/or parent gender had effects on the attachment security level. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was conducted to demonstrate the pathways from past parenting to later mental health via parent attachment for men and women respectively. Results: Three-factor structures for both father and mother IPPAs were confirmed by removing one item from the Communication subscale. ANOVAs showed that, concerning Trust, there were no differences between male and female How to cite this paper: Uji, M., & Kawaguchi, M. ( 2024).

“…Researchers have found that prolonged anxiety in adolescents can trigger physiological changes in the brain and lead to mental disorders such as anxiety and depression in adulthood (Cummings et al, 2021 ). Severe anxiety was also found to be associated with severe sleep problems, addictive behaviors, poor academic performance, and worse quality of life in children (Li et al, 2022 ; Raknes et al, 2017 ). Adolescence is a crucial developmental stage which involves rapid changes in the brain and body, and has a profound impact on people’s future lives.…”

The onset age of anxiety is decreasing worldwide, yet the majority of the study conducted on anxiety were focused on adult populations. This study aimed to investigate the mediating effect of psychological capital and coping style tendency on the relationship between emotional intelligence and anxiety in Chinese adolescents and provide empirical evidence for research and prevention. A cross-sectional study recruited 5747 participants from 5 randomly selected middle schools in the northeast China. Study results showed that high emotional intelligence ( P < 0.05), high level of psychological capital ( P < 0.05), and positive coping style tendency ( P < 0.05) were correlated to lower level of anxiety symptoms in adolescents. Psychological capital and coping style tendency performed partial and serial mediating effect on the relationship between emotional intelligence and anxiety. Teaching adolescents how to regulate emotions can strengthens their positive mentalities, promotes the use of positive coping strategies, and then attenuates the severity of anxiety symptoms in a nonadditive manner.
