Abstract

Background

Positive development plays an important role in youth when dealing with stressful circumstances. According to the resource dilution theory, adolescents with or without siblings may receive different levels of emotional and material resources from their parents. The purpose of this study is to examine the association between the positive development of adolescents in China today with their family characteristics such as the number of siblings.

Methods

A total of 2072 junior high and senior high school students (13 to 18 years old) in Chengdu, Sichuan, China, were investigated by cluster sampling. The Chinese Positive Youth Development scales (CPYDs) were used to measure positive youth development. The generalized linear model was used to explore the relationships among the number of siblings, parent–child relationships and positive youth development.

Results

Adolescents from only-child families had better performance on positive development (H = 21.87, P < 0.001) and better relationships with parents (H = 15.1, P < 0.05). The positive development of male and female adolescents does not significantly differ in families with different numbers of siblings. The generalized linear model showed that a positive parent–child relationship is positively correlated with adolescent positive development (P < 0.05).

Conclusion

Positive youth development is not only associated with the number of siblings but also other modifiable familial factors. The positive relationship between parents and adolescents is of great practical value in daily life to improve youth development, and this might be the real lesson the resource dilution theory tells.

中国大陆青少年兄弟姐妹数量、亲子关系与青少年积极发展之间的关系:横断面研究
背景 积极发展对青少年应对压力环境起着重要作用。根据资源稀释理论,有兄弟姐妹或没有兄弟姐妹的青少年可能从父母那里获得不同程度的情感和物质资源。本研究旨在探讨当今中国青少年的积极发展与其兄弟姐妹数量等家庭特征之间的关系。 方法 采用整群抽样的方法,对中国四川省成都市 2072 名初高中学生(13 至 18 岁)进行了调查。采用中国青少年积极发展量表(CPYDs)测量青少年的积极发展。采用广义线性模型探讨兄弟姐妹数量、亲子关系与青少年积极发展之间的关系。 结果 独生子女家庭的青少年在积极发展方面的表现更好(H = 21.87,P < 0.001),与父母的关系更好(H = 15.1,P < 0.05)。在兄弟姐妹人数不同的家庭中,男女青少年的积极发展并无显著差异。广义线性模型显示,积极的亲子关系与青少年的积极发展呈正相关(P < 0.05)。 结论 青少年的积极发展不仅与兄弟姐妹的数量有关,还与其他可改变的家庭因素有关。在日常生活中,父母与青少年之间的积极关系对改善青少年的发展具有重要的实用价值,这可能就是资源稀释理论所告诉我们的真正道理。

期刊介绍: Child: care, health and development is an international, peer-reviewed journal which publishes papers dealing with all aspects of the health and development of children and young people. We aim to attract quantitative and qualitative research papers relevant to people from all disciplines working in child health. We welcome studies which examine the effects of social and environmental factors on health and development as well as those dealing with clinical issues, the organization of services and health policy. We particularly encourage the submission of studies related to those who are disadvantaged by physical, developmental, emotional and social problems. The journal also aims to collate important research findings and to provide a forum for discussion of global child health issues.
