چکیده

هدف: هدف پژوهش حاضر بررسی رابطة بین والدگری هلیکوپتری و سازگاری تحصیلی با نقش واسطه‌­ای اضطراب در بین دانشجویان بود. روش: روش پژوهش حاضر توصیفی از نوع همبستگی بود. جامعه مورد مطالعه شامل تمامی 17000دانشجوی دانشگاه شهید بهشتی در سال تحصیلی 1399-1400 بود که از این جامعه تعداد 335 دانشجو با استفاده از روش نمونه­‌گیری تصادفی خوشه‌­­ای چندمرحله­‌ای انتخاب شد. به منظور جمع ­آوری داده­‌ها از پرسشنامه­ والدگری هلیکوپتری (پیستلا، ایزو، ایزولانیا، اورنو و بایوکو ،2020)، مقیاس سازگاری تحصیلی (بیکر و سریاک، 1984) و پرسشنامه اضطراب (بک، 1988) استفاده گردید. داده­‌های جمع­آوری شده با استفاده از آزمون همبستگی پیرسون و مدل­سازی معادلات ساختاری با کمک نرم افزار اسمارت پلاس وspss25 تحلیل شدند. یافته‌­ها: یافته­‌های پژوهش حاکی از رابطة مثبت و معنادار بین والدگری هلیکوپتری و اضطراب بود (01/0P<). همچنین بین اضطراب و سازگاری تحصیلی نیز رابطة منفی و معنادار وجود داشت (01/0P<). اما بین والدگری هلیکوپتری و سازگاری تحصیلی رابطه مستقیم و معناداری به­دست نیامد ولی رابطه غیر مستقیم بین آن­ها از طریق اضطراب معنادار بود. نتیجه­‌گیری: در نتیجه می­‌توان گفت که والدگری هلیکوپتری اگرچه به صورت مستقیم بر سازگاری و عملکرد تحصیلی دانشجویان تاثیرگذار نیست اما با ایجاد تنش و اضطراب به صورت غیرمستقیم می‌­تواند جنبه‌­های متعددی از زندگی دانشجویان را تحت تاثیر قرار دهد. بنابراین آگاهی بخشی به والدین و مشاوران در مورد تاثیرات منفی و مخرب این سبک از والدگری در زمینه تحصیلی و روانشناختی فرزندان از طریق کارگاه­‌های آموزشی و رسانه‌­های جمعی ضروری به نظر می‌­رسد.

چکیده [English]

Aim: This study aimed to explore the relationship between helicopter parenting and academic adjustment, considering the mediating role of anxiety among students.
 
Methods: The research employed a descriptive-correlational design, with a study population comprising all 17,000 students of Shahid Beheshti University in the academic year 1399-1400. A sample of 335 students was selected through multi-stage cluster random sampling. Data were gathered using the Helicopter Parenting Questionnaire (Pistella, ISO, Isolania, Orno, and Bioko, 2020), Academic Adjustment Scale (Baker and Cyriac, 1984), and Anxiety Inventory (Beck, 1988). Analysis was conducted through the Pearson correlation test and structural equation modeling using Smart PLS and SPSS25 software.
 
Results: The findings revealed a positive and significant relationship between helicopter parenting and anxiety (P<0.01). Additionally, a significant negative relationship between anxiety and academic adjustment was observed (P< 0.01). While there was no direct and significant relationship between helicopter parenting and academic adjustment, an indirect relationship was established through anxiety.
 
Conclusion: In conclusion, although helicopter parenting may not directly impact students' academic adjustment and performance, it can exert an indirect influence by inducing stress and anxiety. Therefore, educating parents and counselors about the detrimental effects of this parenting style on their children's educational and psychological well-being through workshops and mass media is deemed necessary.
