The Influence of Cultural Uniqueness of Parent-Children Relationship on Adolescent's Mental Health: Parent-Adolescent Affective Bonding(Bu-Ja-Yu-Chin-Sung-Cheong)

Abstract

This study explored an alternative or a more appropriate approach in counseling regarding multiple cultural problems. Participants for this study were 314 high school students (159 males and 155 females). The results were as follows. First, parent-adolescent affective bonding and self-differentiation showed positive correlations, whereas parent-adolescent affective bonding and psycho-social adjustment emotion were negatively associated. Furthermore, self-differentiation and psycho-social adjustment emotion also showed significant negative correlations. Second, in the subsidiary variable of parent-adolescent affective bonding, the oneness variable of a father, a mother and the self-sacrifice variable of a father were found to be significant predictors. On the other hand, in the psycho-social adjustment emotion, only the oneness variable with a father was found to be a significant predictor. Also, in the effect of the subsidiary variable of self-differentiation affecting psycho-social adjustment emotion, the family regression and the variable of intelligence/emotion function were found to be significant predictors. Lastly, in the relationship between parent-adolescent affective bonding and psycho-social adjustment emotion, the full mediation model showed better fit to the data than the partial mediation model or the simple effect model. Thus, in parent-adolescent affective bonding, only the indirect path affecting psycho-social adjustment emotion through self-differentiation was significant, whereas the direct path affecting psycho-social adjustment emotion was not.
