The effect of positive parenting on adolescent life satisfaction: the mediating role of parent-adolescent attachment
This study explores the impact of positive parenting on adolescents’ life satisfaction and the mediating role of parent-adolescent attachment, based on the family systems theory and attachment theory. The sample included 5,047 adolescents (2,353 males, 2,694 females) with a mean age of 16.65 (SD = 1...

description | This study explores the impact of positive parenting on adolescents’ life satisfaction and the mediating role of parent-adolescent attachment, based on the family systems theory and attachment theory. The sample included 5,047 adolescents (2,353 males, 2,694 females) with a mean age of 16.65 (SD = 1.21) from Henan Province, China. This study used the Positive Parenting Scale, the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment and the Satisfaction with Life Scale to survey 5,047 adolescents. The results showed that: (1) father’s positive parenting positively predicted adolescent life satisfaction, while mother’s positive parenting did not significantly predict adolescent life satisfaction; (2) Father-adolescent attachment and mother-adolescent attachment play a mediating role in the relationship between fathers’ positive parenting, mothers’ positive parenting, and adolescent life satisfaction, respectively; (3) Differences in the mechanisms of father’s positive parenting and mother’s positive parenting on adolescent life satisfaction. Among them, mothers’ positive parenting positively predicts mother-adolescent attachment, which in turn affects adolescent life satisfaction. On the other hand, fathers’ positive parenting can influence adolescent life satisfaction through two pathways: by positively predicting father-adolescent attachment and by positively predicting mother-adolescent attachment. The research findings indicate that father’s and mother’s positive parenting have different direct effects on adolescent’s life satisfaction, and both can indirectly influence adolescent life satisfaction through the mediating variables of father-adolescent and mother-adolescent attachment. These findings have important theoretical and practical implications for promoting family education and adolescent psychological well-being. |
