Significant Difference

This study aimed at examining the relationships among subjective family socioeconomic status (FSES), self-esteem (SE), social support (SS), and life satisfaction (LS) in two independent samples of Chinese adolescents. In Study 1, 510 adolescents were asked to complete a multi-section questionnaire. The mediation analyses indicated that subjective FSES predicted LS through three pathways. First, subjective FSES predicted LS through the mediating effect of SE. Second, subjective FSES predicted LS through the mediating effect of SS. Third, subjective FSES predicted LS through the serial mediating effect of SS and SE. Besides, the contrast tests revealed that the mediating effect of SE had no significant difference with that of SS. To test whether the above results are stable and replicable, we further conducted a validation study in Sample 2 ( N = 405) and found all the results remained significant. Implications for future research and limitations are discussed.

The Relationship

Introduction: Studies have shown significant associations between parenting practices, life satisfaction, and self-esteem, and the role of parenting practices in adolescent adjustment, emphasizing its influence on wellbeing. Objectives: To analyze the relationships between parenting practices, self-esteem, and life satisfaction, and test the mediating effect of self-esteem on the relationship between the different parenting practices and life satisfaction of adolescents. Method: The sample came to a total of 742 adolescents, with an average age of 15.63 (SD = 1.24; range 13–19). The Parenting Style Scale, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and the Satisfaction with Life Scale were used. Results: Perception by adolescents of high levels of affect and communication, self-disclosure, and a sense of humor related to their parents, as well as low levels of psychological control, explained the life satisfaction of the adolescents. Self-esteem exerted a partial mediating effect on the relationship between parenting practices and satisfaction with the life of the adolescent. Finally, self-esteem also appeared to be a moderator variable, specifically in the effect of self-disclosure on the life satisfaction of the adolescent. Conclusions: The results reinforce the role of personal variables, especially self-esteem, in parent-child interaction and in the improved subjective wellbeing of the adolescent.

First Results

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of neglectful parenting on life satisfaction among multicultural adolescents and to identify the dual mediating effects of self-esteem and social withdrawal. The research data included 1,160 responses of multicultural adolescents collected by the Year 6 (2018) and Year 7(2019) data of the Multicultural Adolescents Panel Study (by the National Youth Policy Institute) was analyzed. Multiple regression and dual mediation analysis were performed. The major findings are as follows. First, Results showed that 37.7% of respondents had experienced neglectful parenting from their parents. Second, neglectful parenting had a direct and negative impact on life satisfaction. Third, self-esteem played a mediating role in the relationship between neglectful parenting and life satisfaction, but, the mediating effect of social withdrawal had not been verified. Fourth, in the path from neglectful parenting to life satisfaction, dual mediating effect of self-esteem and social withdrawal were significant. It can be interpreted that neglectful parenting reduces self-esteem and increases social withdrawal, consequently undermining the life satisfaction. Based on these results, we proposed practical and policy implications to prevent the harmful effects of neglectful parenting and promote life satisfaction for multicultral adolescents.
