一些年轻人往往倾向于认为人际关系和社会交往是有压力的，因此，避免他们。在童年时期寻求父母的帮助和与邻居的互动被认为是形成对人的积极印象的重要因素，从而影响成年后的求助行为。然而，目前还不清楚这些经历是如何联系在一起的，以及它们如何影响成年后的人际关系。本研究旨在探讨儿童时期的社会交往经验是否对儿童时期寻求父母支持与成年后回避人际关系之间的关联有任何修正作用。方法通过日本名古屋市2018年实施的问卷调查收集了1，274名个体（18至39岁）的数据。采用改良Poisson回归分析，根据儿童时期寻求父母帮助（分别分析父亲/母亲）和参与社区活动的经历，估计当前回避人际关系的患病率。数据按性别分层，并调整年龄，父母的教育背景，母亲的工作状况，在儿童时期的经济地位的主观认识和寻求帮助的另一个父母。效果估计计算，以评估存在的任何修改effect.Results没有修改效果的参与社区活动的童年被认为是在寻求帮助的父亲和目前避免人际关系的经验之间的关联，在任何性别。关于寻求母亲帮助的经历，在男性中观察到了修正效应。在男性谁曾寻求帮助，从他们的母亲，那些谁参加了社区活动不太可能避免在成年后的人际关系。结论为了减少倾向，以避免在成年后的人际关系，童年的经验，寻求帮助，从母亲和参加社区活动可能是重要的，特别是对男性。除了适当的父母支持外，在社区中促进儿童的互动活动可能会减轻儿童在以后生活中社交技能差的问题。
Objectives Some young adults often tend to perceive interpersonal relationships and social interactions as stressful, and as such, avoid them. Seeking help from parents and interactions with neighbors during childhood are known to be important in forming positive impressions of people, thereby influencing help-seeking behavior in adulthood. However, it remains unclear how these experiences are related and how they influence interpersonal relationships in adulthood. This study aimed to investigate whether childhood experience(s) of social interactions in the community has any modifying effect on the association between seeking support from parents in childhood and avoidance of interpersonal relationships in adulthood.Methods Data pertaining to 1,274 individuals (aged 18 to 39 years) were collected from a questionnaire survey conducted in 2018 by Nagoya City of Japan. Modified Poisson regression analyses were performed to estimate the prevalence ratio of current avoidance of interpersonal relationships depending on the experience(s) of seeking help from a parent (father/mother analyzed respectively) and participating in community events in childhood. Data were stratified according to gender, and adjusted for age, parents' educational background, mother's working status in childhood, subjective recognition of economic status in childhood and seeking help from the other parent. Effect estimates were calculated to evaluate the existence of any modifying effect.Results No modifying effect of participating in community events in childhood was seen in the association between experience of seeking help from the father and current avoidance of interpersonal relationships, in either gender. Regarding experience of seeking help from the mother, a modifying effect was seen in men. Among men who had sought help from their mother, those who had participated in community events were less likely to avoid interpersonal relationships in adulthood.Conclusion In order to reduce the tendency to avoid interpersonal relationships in adulthood, childhood experiences of seeking help from the mother and participating in community events may be important, particularly for men. In addition to appropriate parental support, promoting interactive events for children in communities may mitigate the problem of poor social skills later in life.
