目的探讨自我控制在直升机式父母教养与大学生学业倦怠之间的中介作用，以及直升机式父母教养与大学生学业倦怠之间的关系是否因父母性别而异。具体而言，我们假设：(1)直升机式育儿与学校倦怠之间存在正相关关系，因为自我控制的报告较低；(2)与母亲直升机式育儿相比，父亲直升机式育儿对学校倦怠的负面影响更大。方法采用网络调查方法，对427名大学生进行问卷调查，报告父母直升机式育儿、自我控制、学业倦怠和人口统计学特征。结果结构方程模型结果表明，自我控制完全介导了母亲直升机式育儿感知与学校倦怠感的关系，部分介导了父亲直升机式育儿感知与学校倦怠感的关系。此外，与母亲直升机式教育相比，父亲直升机式教育与大学生学业倦怠有更强的直接联系。结论直升机式父母行为可能阻碍初出期成年大学生自我控制技能的发展，而自我控制技能与学业倦怠感有关。此外，直升机父亲可能比直升机母亲对大学生的学业倦怠感产生更直接的负面影响，因为直升机父亲违反了孩子对典型父亲角色的期望。本文还讨论了研究结果对高等教育实践的影响。
Objectives We examined the mediating role of self-control in the relation between helicopter parenting and college student school burnout and whether the relation between helicopter parenting and college student school burnout varied by parental gender. Specifically, we hypothesized that (1) there would be a positive association between helicopter parenting and school burnout through lower reports of self-control and (2) perceptions of paternal helicopter parenting would have a greater negative impact on school burnout compared to maternal helicopter parenting. Methods In an online survey, college students (N= 427) reported on both maternal and paternal helicopter parenting, self-control, school burnout, and demographics. Results Results from structural equation modeling suggested that self-control fully mediated the relation between perceptions of maternal helicopter parenting and feelings of school burnout, and partially mediated the relation between perceptions of paternal helicopter parenting and school burnout. Further, perceptions of paternal helicopter parenting had a stronger direct association with college student school burnout compared to perceptions of maternal helicopter parenting. Conclusions The results of our study suggest that helicopter parenting behaviors may hinder the development of self-control skills among emerging adult college students, which are associated with feelings of school burnout. Further, helicopter fathers may have a more direct negative impact on college students' feelings of school burnout than helicopter mothers due to violating their child's expectations of the typical fathering role. The implications of the findings for practices in higher education were also discussed.
