Description
Teens who feel low or anxious often pull inward, and a warm mother may shield them from that slide. Ludan Zhang, Ruijie Wang, Yaoyao Li, and Liang Chen probe how that shield works in a 2024 study. They survey 474 students at a vocational school, aged 15 to 24.
Warmth from mothers linked to fewer inner troubles in part through a stronger sense of meaning in life. Fights with friends changed the pattern. Under high friend conflict, warmth lost its direct shield, and meaning carried the gain. Under low conflict, warmth guarded the teens directly. The authors say support for teens should match their social setting.
