OBJECTIVE: Adolescence is a critical period for personality formation and vulnerability to anxiety. Although personality traits are well-established predictors of adolescent anxiety, comparatively little research has examined the cultural mechanisms underlying this association. Drawing on culture-personality interaction theory, this study examined whether Red music cultural identification and self-identity sequentially mediate the association between Big Five personality traits and anxiety among Chinese adolescents. Specifically, we tested the pathway "Big Five personality traits → Red music cultural identification → self-identity → adolescent anxiety."
METHODS: A cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted using data collected online from 1,751 Chinese primary and secondary school students (45.57% boys; Grades 4-12). Measures included the Chinese Big Five Personality Inventory-Brief Version, the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale, a self-developed Red Music Cultural Identification Scale, and the Adolescent Self-Identity Questionnaire. Serial mediation effects were examined using PROCESS Macro Model 6 with bias-corrected bootstrap confidence intervals based on 5,000 resamples.
RESULTS: Neuroticism significantly negatively predicted Red music cultural identification, whereas conscientiousness significantly positively predicted it. Red music cultural identification, in turn, significantly positively predicted adolescent self-identity, and self-identity significantly negatively predicted anxiety. Bootstrap analyses confirmed that the serial mediation pathway "personality traits → Red music cultural identification → self-identity → adolescent anxiety" was statistically significant.
DISCUSSION: These findings support the view that the association between personality traits and adolescent anxiety operates partly through culturally embedded identity processes. By identifying Red music cultural identification as a culturally specific psychological construct linked to self-identity, this study extends theoretical understanding of culture-personality interaction in adolescent development and offers a theoretical basis for exploring culturally grounded approaches to adolescent mental health intervention.
