Impact of Parenting Styles on Secondary School Students'Social and Emotional Competence:a Moderated Mediation Model
To explore the relationship between different types of parenting styles and the social and emotional competence of secondary school students,as well as the mediating roles of parent-child relationships and peer relationships,and the moderating effect of sense of school belonging,a study was conducted with the help of the data from OECD's survey on social and emotional skills.The results indicate that an understanding-oriented parenting style has a significant positive impact on the social and emotional competence of secondary school students.Meanwhile,the parallel mediating effect of parent-child relationships and peer relationships in the impact of a punitive parenting style on social and emotional competence is greater than that of an understanding-oriented parenting style.Additionally,regardless of the parenting style,the mediating role of peer relationships is greater than that of parent-child relationships.Furthermore,a sense of school belonging plays a moderating role in the latter part of the mediating pathways for both understanding-oriented and punitive parenting styles.When there is a high sense of school belonging,the positive predictive effect on social and emotional competence is strengthened.This suggests that we should attach importance to home-school social co-parenting to help middle school students improve their social emotional ability:maintain a healthy and upward family education field,create a good family education environment,parents set an example,and shape their children's good habits;From the three aspects of management,culture and curriculum,we should give full play to the role of the main front of school culture education.Improve the social support network,with rich and beneficial social practice activities as the carrier,to provide good conditions and environment for children's all-round development..
