Abstract

The presence of communication within the family can be considered as a protective factor in preventing the development of mental health problems in school by acting as a buffer against mental health problems in adolescents. Thus, this study, which was designed to reveal the potential mechanisms between family communication and bi‐dimensional student mental health (psychological well‐being/distress) in Turkish adolescents, examined the serial mediator role of digital game addiction and school belongingness. The study sample consists of a total of 397 volunteering Turkish adolescents, including 206 girls (51.9%) and 191 boys (48.1%). The participants' ages range from 14 to 17 (M = 14.63 years, SD = 0.60). In this study, a cross‐sectional and explanatory design based on structural equation modeling was used. The main findings of the study are as follows: (1) digital game addiction mediated the relationship between family communication and psychological well‐being/distress, (2) school belongingness mediated the relationship between family communication and psychological well‐being/distress, and (3) the relationship between family communication and psychological well‐being/distress was serially mediated by both digital game addiction and school belongingness.

家庭沟通与青少年学生的双向心理健康：通过数字游戏成瘾和学校归属感的序列调解

家庭内部沟通的存在可被视为一种保护性因素，通过对青少年的心理健康问题起到缓冲作用，防止其在学校出现心理健康问题。因此，本研究旨在揭示土耳其青少年家庭沟通与双维学生心理健康（心理健康/压力）之间的潜在机制，考察数字游戏成瘾和学校归属感的序列中介作用。研究样本由 397 名自愿参加研究的土耳其青少年组成，其中包括 206 名女生（51.9%）和 191 名男生（48.1%）。参与者的年龄在 14 至 17 岁之间（M = 14.63 岁，SD = 0.60）。本研究采用了基于结构方程模型的横截面和解释性设计。研究的主要发现如下：(1) 数字游戏成瘾对家庭沟通与心理健康/压力之间的关系起中介作用；(2) 学校归属感对家庭沟通与心理健康/压力之间的关系起中介作用；(3) 数字游戏成瘾和学校归属感对家庭沟通与心理健康/压力之间的关系起连续中介作用。
