Abstract

With the continuous development of Chinese economy, people’s living standard has been improved greatly. However, in rural regions, economic development is much slower compared to urban areas. To change the economic condition of family, most farmers chose to work in cities. This results in the continuous growth of left-behind children population, and it has attracted more and more scholars in the field of social science and education to investigate this issue. This study examined the influence of intergenerational relationship and parent-child relationship on social anxiety of left-behind children in rural areas in China. It also shows the main problems and causes of left-behind children in rural areas in China. In this study, Parent-child Relationship Scale (PCRT) and Children’s Social Anxiety Scale (SASC) were used to collect first-hand information and materials. Correlational analysis was used to analyze the collected data. According to the findings, the following conclusions can be drawn: (1) In terms of parent-child relationship, whether the child is the only child in the family has no significant influence on the parent-child relationship. The grade level of child has no significant effect on the parent-child relationship. (2) Intergenerational relationship has no significant influence on children’s social anxiety. (3) The influence of parent-child relationship on children’s social anxiety is significant. This study can provide some directions to future intervention research for left-behind children in China.
