Abstract:
Objective:To explore the mediating effect of interpersonal sensitivity between social adaptation and openness, as well as the moderating role of peer attachment among offenders in community.
Methods:Totally 155 offenders from 5 communities in Yinchuan city were investigated by symptom self-rating scale, NEO five-factor inventory(NEO-FFI), social adaptability scale and the inventory of parent and peer attachment-revised. Using the macro program PROCESS of SSPS to test the mediating effect of interpersonal sensitivity and the moderating role of peer trust.
Results:The scores of interpersonal sensitive subscale of the symptom checklist 90, the openness subscale of NEO five-factor inventory, the inventory of parent and peer attachment-revised were (1.52±0.48), (3.05±0.30), (0.72±0.60) and (83.40±12.17), respectively. Openness, peer attachment were positively correlated with social adaptation (r=0.25, 0.44, P<0.01), and negatively correlated with interpersonal sensitivity (r=-0.18, -0.37, P<0.05). Interpersonal sensitivity was negatively correlated with social adaptation (P<0.01). Peer trust had a significant moderating effect on openness and interpersonal sensitivity (β=0.02, SE=0.01, P<0.05). Interpersonal sensitivity played a mediating role in the relationship between openness and social adaptation (β=-0.38, SE=0.10, P<0.01). In case of high peer trust(β=-0.59, SE=0.19, P<0.001) and mid-level of peer trust(β=-0.28, SE=0.11, P<0.05), there were both significant effect between openness and social adaptation.
Conclusion:Openness influences the social adaptation though interpersonal sensitivity, while peer trust moderates the effect of openness on social adaptation.
