Abstract:
Objective:To explore the heterogeneity of alienation among adolescents and examine the impact of child psychological maltreatment, childhood bullying, online social exclusion, and demographic variables.Methods:In October 2023, the alienation scale was administered to 1 316 adolescents. Latent profile analysis was conducted using Mplus 8.3, and multinomial Logistic regression analysis was performed using SPSS 26.0 to explore the factors associated with the heterogeneity of adolescent alienation.Results:(1) The score of adolescent alienation was 22.00 (17.00, 29.00). The results of latent profile analysis showed that there was heterogeneity in adolescent alienation, which could be divided into two categories as low alienation (66.79%, 879/1 316) and high alienation (33.21%, 437/1 316).(2) Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that gender ( B=0.57, OR=1.77, P<0.01), being an only child ( B=-0.34, OR=0.71, P<0.05) were significantly associated with adolescent alienation. Additionally, child psychological maltreatment( B=1.61, OR=5.02, P<0.01), childhood bullying ( B=1.09, OR=2.98, P<0.01), and online social exclusion ( B=1.64, OR=5.17, P<0.01) were identified as critical factors influencing adolescent alienation. Conclusion:There is heterogeneity in alienation among adolescents. Child psychological maltreatment, child bullying, online social exclusion and demographic variables are the main influencing factors of alienation among adolescents.
