The mediating effect of perfectionism between rumination and parenting style among undergraduates / 中华行为医学与脑科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the mediating effect of perfectionism between rumination and par-enting style among undergraduates. Methods The investigation was carried out among 915 college students by random sampling method,using ruminative responses scale(RRS),short-form egma minnenav bardndosna uppforstran(S-EMBU) and college student general perfectionism scale. Results The scores of perfection-ism,rumination and their division dimensions in undergraduates were ( 26. 35 ± 4. 13),( 17. 14 ± 4. 86), (22. 27±4. 64),( 11. 10± 2. 71),( 10. 38± 2. 71) and(43. 75± 8. 37),respectively. Rumination of under-graduates was positively correlated with father rejection,mother rejection(r=0. 23,0. 29,P<0. 01),father overprotection,mother overprotection(r=0. 16,0. 20,P<0. 01) and minding mistakes(r=0. 36,P<0. 01), while negatively correlated with father emotional warmth and mother emotional warmth(r=-0. 07,-0. 09,P<0. 05). Minding mistakes had significantly positive correlations with father rejection,mother rejection(r=0. 12,0. 19,P<0. 01) and father overprotection,mother overprotection ( r=0. 16,0. 12,P<0. 01). Minding mistakes had significantly negative correlations with father emotional warmth and mother emotional warmth (r=-0. 18,-0. 20,P<0. 01). The structural equation model proved that minding mistakes mediated the re-lationship between mother and father rejection and rumination through mediating effect test ( χ2/df=8. 45, RMSEA=0. 091,CFI=0. 96,GFI=0. 97). The mediating effect value was 0. 112(95%CI=0. 048~0. 194), and mediating effect accounted for 28. 95% . Conclusion The mediating effect of minding mistakes is re-markable in father and mother rejection and rumination,and reducing father rejection,mother rejection and perfectionism can reduce rumination among undergraduates.
