RESUMO
BackgroundNowadays， idolatry is an important part of the spiritual life of secondary school students， making a significant impact on their physical and mental development. Previous research has examined the two-by-two relationship between idolatry， peer attachment， life satisfaction and perceived social support， but the potential mediating mechanisms between these variables remain to be explored. ObjectiveTo explore the mediating role of peer attachment and life satisfaction between idolatry and perceived social support， so as to provide references for mental health education for secondary school students. MethodsIn June 2022， 1 059 students currently enrolled in secondary school in Qiannan State， Guizhou Province were selected according to stratified random sampling method. In this study， assessment was performed using Celebrity Attitude Scale （CAS）， Peer Attachment Subscale from Revised Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment （IPPA-R）， Satisfaction with Life Scale （SWLS） and Perceived Social Support Scale （PSSS）. Pearson correlation analysis was used for correlation test. Model 6 in the SPSS Macro Process 3.3 was used to examine the mediating effect of peer attachment and life satisfaction between idolatry and perceived social support in secondary school students. Results①CAS score indicated positive correlation with scores of IPPA-R Peer Attachment Subscale， SWLS and PSSS （r=0.117， 0.097， 0.115， P<0.01）. IPPA-R score indicated positive correlation with scores of SWLS and PSSS （r=0.279， 0.421， P<0.01）. SWLS score was positively correlated with PSSS score （r=0.552， P<0.01）. ②The direct effect of idolatry on perceived social support was significant （β=0.059， P<0.05）. Both separate and chain mediating effects of peer attachment and life satisfaction between idolatry and perceived social support were significant （95% CI： 0.007~0.130， 0.004~0.054， 0.001~0.016， P<0.01）. The three effects above respectively accounted for 33.56%， 13.54% and 3.93% of the total effect. ConclusionIdolatry can affect secondary school students' perceived social support both directly and indirectly through peer attachment and life satisfaction.
RESUMO
Casos clínicos são apresentados neste artigo para demonstrar que a idolatria pode evidenciar tanto aspectos criativos como defensivos da estruturação do psiquismo. Em sua face defensiva, possui estreita ligação com a onipotência narcísica, que é a identificação do ego com os poderes dos deuses. É observável tanto no nível individual como no coletivo, sendo patente, por exemplo, no exibicionismo exacerbado, nas explosões de violência e nos escândalos de corrupção. O mito do Bezerro de Ouro, relatado na Bíblia, é abordado neste artigo com o objetivo de destacar que a luta entre as polaridades matriarcal e patriarcal da consciência é arquetípica e, do mesmo modo como esteve presente nos primórdios da nação do povo de Israel, quando a consciência patriarcal foi fortemente estruturante, constelou no caso aqui estudado, em que se buscava o equilíbrio dialético entre as potências matriarcal e patriarcal da psique, para que o sujeito em análise passasse a estar no mundo de maneira mais adaptada. A idealização do analista, bem como sua capacidade de ecoar o analisando, foi fundamental para que a lenta e esperada transformação do self narcísico dele ocorresse e o caminho de evolução da consciência pudesse ser retomado.
Clinical cases are presented in this article aiming to demonstrate that idolatry may signify both creative and defensive aspects of the psyche development. On what comes to its defensive traits, idolatry is closely connected to the narcissistic omnipotence, which is the identification on the ego with god's powers. It may be observed both in the individual and the collective levels, since it is evident, for instance, in the exacerbation of the exhibitionism, the outbursts of violence and in corruption scandals. The Golden Calf myth, presented in the Bible, is approached in this text with the objective of highlighting that the conflict between the matriarchal and patriarchal poles of the conscience is archetypal. It took place in the origins of the Israeli nation as well as in the clinical case studied herein, in which the dialetical balance between the matriarchal and patriarchal forces of the psyche was aspired, in view of a more adapted way of living for the person in analysis. The idealization of the analyst of echoing the patient were extremely important for the slow and desired transformation of the narcissistic self to happen and for the evolution path of the conscience to be resumed.
