The present study primarily aimed to examine whether self-esteem serves as a mediator in the associations between parent-child relationships, including parental support and parent-child conflict, and resilience among adolescents. Three hundred and four Chinese adolescents were surveyed with questionnaires and structural equation modeling was adopted to test the mediational hypothesis. The results indicated that the associations between parent-child relationships and adolescent resilience were primarily mediated by self-esteem and that parental support was more robustly linked with adolescent resilience than parent-adolescent conflict. The current study also tested a competitive mediational model in which resilience was the mediator and self-esteem was the outcome variable, and observed that this model was also well-established but inferior to the hypothesized mediational model. These findings extend our insight into the mechanisms underlying the associations among parent-child relationships, self-esteem, and resilience among adolescents and suggest that adolescent resilience promotion programs should focus on improving parental support in a family context and developing individual self-esteem.
本研究主要旨在探讨自尊是否在亲子关系（包括父母支持和亲子冲突）与青少年心理韧性之间的关联中起中介作用。对304名中国青少年进行了问卷调查，并采用结构方程模型来检验中介假设。结果表明，亲子关系与青少年心理韧性之间的关联主要由自尊介导，且父母支持与青少年心理韧性的联系比亲子冲突更为紧密。本研究还检验了一个竞争性中介模型，其中心理韧性是中介变量，自尊是结果变量，并观察到该模型也成立，但不如假设的中介模型。这些发现拓展了我们对亲子关系、自尊和青少年心理韧性之间关联背后机制的理解，并表明促进青少年心理韧性的项目应注重在家庭环境中改善父母支持以及培养个体自尊。
