English abstract:
      Background Nowadays, idolatry is an important part of the spiritual life of secondary school students, making a significant impact on their physical and mental development. Previous research has examined the two-by-two relationship between idolatry, peer attachment, life satisfaction and perceived social support, but the potential mediating mechanisms between these variables remain to be explored.Objective To explore the mediating role of peer attachment and life satisfaction between idolatry and perceived social support, so as to provide references for mental health education for secondary school students.Methods In June 2022, 1 059 students currently enrolled in secondary school in Qiannan State, Guizhou Province were selected according to stratified random sampling method. In this study, assessment was performed using Celebrity Attitude Scale (CAS), Peer Attachment Subscale from Revised Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment (IPPA-R), Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) and Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS). Pearson correlation analysis was used for correlation test. Model 6 in the SPSS Macro Process 3.3 was used to examine the mediating effect of peer attachment and life satisfaction between idolatry and perceived social support in secondary school students.Results ①CAS score indicated positive correlation with scores of IPPA-R Peer Attachment Subscale, SWLS and PSSS (r=0.117, 0.097, 0.115, P<0.01). IPPA-R score indicated positive correlation with scores of SWLS and PSSS (r=0.279, 0.421, P<0.01). SWLS score was positively correlated with PSSS score (r=0.552, P<0.01). ②The direct effect of idolatry on perceived social support was significant (β=0.059, P<0.05). Both separate and chain mediating effects of peer attachment and life satisfaction between idolatry and perceived social support were significant (95% CI: 0.007~0.130, 0.004~0.054, 0.001~0.016, P<0.01). The three effects above respectively accounted for 33.56%, 13.54% and 3.93% of the total effect.Conclusion Idolatry can affect secondary school students' perceived social support both directly and indirectly through peer attachment and life satisfaction.
