This study aims to analyze the influence of communication with the mother and father on adolescents' life satisfaction, as well as possible indirect effects through self-esteem, feelings of loneliness, and perceived classroom environment. These relationships, and possible gender differences, were analyzed in a sample of 1,795 adolescents (52% male, 48% female) aged 11 to 18 years-old (M = 14.2, SD = 1.68), using structural equation modeling. Results indicate a direct effect of communication-mother (girls: β = .19, p < .001; boys: β = .16, p < .05) and communication-father (girls: β = .22, p < .001; boys: β = .17, p < .05) on adolescent life satisfaction; and also indirect effects through self-esteem (communication-mother: girls, β = .18, p < .01; boys: β = .19, p < .05; communication-father: girls: β = .28, p < .001; boys: β = .27, p < .01) and feelings of loneliness (communication-mother: girls: β = -.19, p < .01; boys: β = -.21, p < .05; communication-father: girls: β = -.31, p < .001; boys: β = -.20, p < .01). The results and implications of this study are discussed.
本研究旨在分析与母亲和父亲的沟通对青少年生活满意度的影响，以及通过自尊、孤独感和感知到的课堂环境可能产生的间接影响。使用结构方程模型，对1795名年龄在11至18岁之间（平均年龄M = 14.2，标准差SD = 1.68）的青少年样本（52%为男性，48%为女性）进行了这些关系以及可能存在的性别差异的分析。结果表明，与母亲的沟通（女孩：β = 0.19，p < 0.001；男孩：β = 0.16，p < 0.05）和与父亲的沟通（女孩：β = 0.22，p < 0.001；男孩：β = 0.17，p < 0.05）对青少年生活满意度有直接影响；并且通过自尊（与母亲的沟通：女孩，β = 0.18，p < 0.01；男孩：β = 0.19，p < 0.05；与父亲的沟通：女孩：β = 0.28，p < 0.001；男孩：β = 0.27，p < 0.01）和孤独感（与母亲的沟通：女孩：β = -0.19，p < 0.01；男孩：β = -0.21，p < 0.05；与父亲的沟通：女孩：β = -0.31，p < 0.001；男孩：β = -0.20，p < 0.01）也有间接影响。本文讨论了该研究的结果及意义。
