Relationship between Parenting Styles and Online Self-Disclosure among University Students: The Mediating Role of Loneliness

目的：探讨父母不同教养类型的教养方式、网络层面的自我表露与个体的孤独感水平这三者之间的关系。方法：采用简式父母教养方式量表、网络自我表露量表以及孤独感量表，对305名大学生进行线上的问卷调查。结果：大学生父母教养方式中的拒绝和过度保护的教养方式、网络自我表露以及孤独感水平三者之间具有显著相关关系；大学生父母拒绝型、过度保护型教养方式对子女在网络上的自我表露具有正向的预测作用；孤独感在二者间起部分中介作用。结果说明父母不同类型的教养方式不仅能预测大学生网络自我表露水平，还会通过孤独感的中介作用间接预测网络自我表露水平。Objective: To explore deeply and systematically the relationship between parents’ different parenting styles, self-disclosure at the network level and individual loneliness. Methods: A total of 305 college students were surveyed online with the Simple parenting style Scale, the Internet self-disclosure Scale and the Loneliness Scale. Result: It revealed significant correlations between parental rejecting and overprotective parenting styles, online self-disclosure, and levels of loneliness. Specifically, both rejecting and overprotective parenting styles positively predicted the level of online self-disclosure in college students, while loneliness played a partial mediating role in this relationship. The findings indicate that distinct parenting styles not only directly predict the level of college students’ online self-disclosure but also exert an indirect influence on online self-disclosure through the mediating effect of increased loneliness.
