摘要
Loneliness is a psychological health issue related to deleterious physical health outcomes such as mortality and chronic disease. The aim of this research was to examine intergenerational transmissions of loneliness from mothers to adult child via a moderated mediation model of perceived familial social support and conflict avoidance. Surveys were collected from 146 (N = 292) mother-child dyads on self-reports of loneliness, familial social support, and mother-child conflict avoidance. The results showed that child perceptions of familial social support mediated the relationship between mother-child loneliness. Moreover, child reports of mother-child conflict avoidance moderated the path from familial social support to child loneliness. Specifically, children reported significantly higher levels of loneliness when they perceived low levels of familial social support and high levels of conflict avoidance. These findings expand research on the role of communicative mechanisms in parent-child transmissions of loneliness. The theoretical and practical implications are discussed in detail.
