Life satisfaction is a critical antecedent of adolescents' positive development in many domains. To promote adolescents to feel more satisfied with their lives, it is important to identify the factors influencing life satisfaction and to further investigate the inner mechanisms. The purpose of this research was to examine whether parenting practices were closely associated with life satisfaction among Chinese adolescents and whether these associations were mediated by adolescents' resilience.
In this one-year interval longitudinal study, 353 students (50.7% girls) in Grade 7 and Grade 10 were recruited as participants. At the first wave of assessment, they reported parenting practices and resilience; at the second wave of assessment, they rated the level of life satisfaction.
The results of this study revealed that parental responsiveness, demandingness, and autonomy granting promoted adolescents' life satisfaction. Additionally, parental responsiveness and demandingness positively predicted adolescents' life satisfaction through the mediating effect of adolescents' resilience; however, resilience did not significantly mediate the relation between autonomy granting and adolescents' life satisfaction.
Adolescents' resilience plays a mediating role in the relations between parental responsiveness and demandingness and adolescents' life satisfaction. The present study highlights the significance of providing adolescents with positive parenting practices and promoting adolescents' development of resilience to elevate their life satisfaction.
生活满意度是青少年在许多领域积极发展的关键前提。为了促使青少年对自己的生活感到更满意，识别影响生活满意度的因素并进一步探究其内在机制很重要。本研究的目的是检验养育方式是否与中国青少年的生活满意度密切相关，以及这些关联是否通过青少年的心理韧性起中介作用。
在这项为期一年的间隔纵向研究中，招募了353名七年级和十年级的学生（50.7%为女生）作为参与者。在第一次评估时，他们报告了养育方式和心理韧性；在第二次评估时，他们对生活满意度水平进行了评分。
本研究结果显示，父母的反应性、要求性和给予自主性促进了青少年的生活满意度。此外，父母的反应性和要求性通过青少年心理韧性的中介作用正向预测青少年的生活满意度；然而，心理韧性并未显著中介给予自主性与青少年生活满意度之间的关系。
青少年的心理韧性在父母反应性、要求性与青少年生活满意度之间的关系中起中介作用。本研究强调了为青少年提供积极养育方式以及促进青少年心理韧性发展以提高其生活满意度的重要性。
