Description
People with crossed eyes often withdraw socially, and Jing Wang and seven co-authors traced the inner chain that links family life to that withdrawal in a 2024 study. They surveyed 249 patients at a large eye hospital in Wenzhou, China, with standard scales for family function, self-esteem, fear of judgment, and social distress.
Well-functioning families predicted less social avoidance directly. The bigger story ran through two middle links in sequence: family function lowered fear of negative evaluation, that fear in turn weighed on self-esteem, and self-esteem guarded against distress. Together the two links carried nearly two-thirds of the total effect. Each scale was validated for this population. The authors suggest clinics treat the family climate, the fear, and the self-image as one connected system rather than isolated symptoms.
