Adolescents' expectations on future subjective social status (SSS) may play a critical role in the relations between perceived parental expectations and persistence; however, there is a lack of research exploring this effect in the context of families experiencing greater economic risk. This study aimed to explicitly address this issue. A total of 698 Chinese rural adolescents participated in this study ( = 13.32 years; 54.60% boys). The results showed that for rural adolescents with lower expected future SSS, perceived parental expectation was negatively related to persistence; for rural adolescents with higher expected future SSS, perceived parental expectation was not significantly correlated with persistence. These findings imply the adverse effects of high perceived parental expectation on rural adolescents' persistence and that expected future SSS can alleviate this adverse relationship.
青少年对未来主观社会地位（SSS）的期望可能在父母感知期望与坚持性之间的关系中起关键作用；然而，在面临更大经济风险的家庭背景下，缺乏对这种影响的研究。本研究旨在明确解决这一问题。共有698名中国农村青少年参与了本研究（平均年龄=13.32岁；54.60%为男孩）。结果表明，对于未来SSS期望较低的农村青少年，父母感知期望与坚持性呈负相关；对于未来SSS期望较高的农村青少年，父母感知期望与坚持性无显著相关性。这些发现意味着父母高感知期望对农村青少年坚持性的不利影响，以及未来SSS期望可以缓解这种不利关系。
