Depressive Mood Of Chinese Only Children In Senior Middle School From Different Families: An Open Pilot Study
Journal Title: European Journal of Business and Social Sciences - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 6
Abstract
Some psychological problems of Chinese senior middle school students are linked with school academic factors, whether they are related to family factors remains unknown. In a senior middle school in Hangzhou, China, we have trialed the Plutchik – van Praag Depression Inventory (PVP) in 78 only-children students: 52 from intact, 15 from single-parent and 11 from reunited families. Most students perceived their biological parents as their first two caregivers, but their caregiver orders did not influence the depressive tendency in either group. Students from single-parent families were more depressed than those from other families, while students from reunited families reported their PVP scores similarly to those from the intact families did. Our study has demonstrated that senior middle school students from single-parent families, on average, reported higher level of depression, while those from reunited families had not, implying that entering a reunited family after divorce could be a complimentary strategy for students to normalize their depression scores. As an open pilot design (the first author is a senior middle school student), our study calls for a comprehensive design to illustrate the psychological world in this aspect.
