Loneliness, rumination, and adolescent psychological crisis in China: a pilot moderated mediation study

1

One in five adolescents globally experiences a clinically significant mental health condition, with loneliness as a modifiable risk factor.
2

The study investigates ruminative thinking as a mediator between loneliness and psychological crises in Chinese adolescents.
3

Loneliness is significantly associated with depressive symptoms, anxiety, and suicidal ideation in the studied population.
4

Social support buffers the relationship between loneliness and rumination, while resilience buffers the relationship between rumination and crisis.
5

The findings are exploratory and suggest a need for further research with a larger sample to confirm the moderated mediation model.
