“…Although Miao et al. (2018) found that social comparison predicts social adaptation, their explanation on this relationship may correspond to the present study's findings that, conversely, adaptation predicts social comparison.…”

“…A five-point scoring is adopted, ranging from 1 (not at all suitable) to 5 (perfectly suitable). This questionnaire has been proved in previous studies to be applicable to Chinese adolescents (Zou et al, 2012;Miao et al, 2018) and college students (Ma and Guo, 2017). The results of confirmatory factor analysis showed that the main fitting indexes of school adaptation scale: CFI = 0.90, TLI = 0.90, and RMSEA =0.07, which indicated that the questionnaire had high structural validity (Brosseau-Liard et al, 2012;Brosseau-Liard and Savalei, 2014).…”

“…The measured variables were the three indicators (three dimensions) of parent-child attachment, i.e., trust, communication, and alienation, and the three indicators (three dimensions) of school bonding, i.e., school belonging, teacher support, and student support and four indicators (four dimensions) of social adaptation, i.e., self-adaptation, interpersonal adaptation, behavioral adaptation, and environmental adaptation. The factor loadings of parent-child alienation were found to be less than 0.5, therefore, the dimension was deleted (Miao et al, 2018). The mediation model suited adequately (Figure 2), with χ 2 (112) = 391.46, p < 0.001, CFI = 0.95, TLI = 0.92, GFI = 0.94, NFI = 0.94, RFI = 0.92, RMSEA = 0.08.…”

Family and school are two main places for adolescents to develop socialization, which can be contributed by good parent-child attachment and school bonding. Earlier studies suggested that parent-child attachment played an important role in promoting the formation of high-level school bonding, which is also likely to influence social adaptation. This study aimed to explore the relationship between parent-child attachment and social adaptation, and the mediating role of school bonding. Using stratified cluster sampling, 1,440 college students were first randomly selected from four universities and then stratified by specialty with a balance between genders and grades. Participants voluntarily participated in this study and completed questionnaires including the Parent-Child Attachment Scale, School Bonding Scale, and Social Adaptation Scale. Finally, a total of 1,320 college students were included in the analysis (59.5% female; aged 18–24years, Mage=20.39±1.52years). Data analysis and structural equation modeling were conducted using SPSS 22.0 and AMOS 23.0. The results indicated that the overall level of parent-child attachment in females (M=75.72, SD=12.36) was significantly higher than that of males (M=73.71, SD=12.68; F=8.22, p<0.01). Difference was also found between sibling status (F=13.90, p<0.001), and the only-child (M=76.16, SD=12.72) scored significantly higher than their counterparts (non-only children, M=73.60, SD=12.19). Parent-child attachment was positively correlated with social adaptation (p<0.01) and school bonding (p<0.01), while school bonding was also positively correlated with social adaptation score (p<0.01). School bonding played a partial intermediate role in the relationship between parent-child attachment and social adaptation (β=0.15). Our research identified a direct influence of parent-child attachment and an indirect influence via school bonding on social adaptation among college students.

This study sought to evaluate the roles of and interactions between cognitive processes that have been shown to exhibit impact from socioeconomic status (SES) and living conditions in predicting social adaptation (SA) in a population of adults living in socially vulnerable conditions. Participants included 226 people between the ages of 18 and 60 who have been living in vulnerable contexts throughout life in Santiago, Chile. Data was collected through a battery of psychological assessments. A structural equation model (SEM) was implemented to examine the interrelationships among cognitive and social variables. Results indicate a significant relationship between executive function (EF) and SA through both social cognition (SC) and intelligence. Theory of Mind (ToM), a component of SC, was shown to exhibit a significant relationship with affective empathy; interestingly, this was negatively related to SA. Moreover, fluid intelligence (FI) was found to exhibit a positive, indirect relationship with SA through crystallized intelligence (CI). Evaluation of these results in the context of research on the impacts of SES and vulnerable living conditions on psychological function may allow for the development of more effective clinical, political, and social interventions to support psychosocial health among socially vulnerable populations.
