Parental Warmth and Children’s Subjective Well-Being in China: the Indirect Effect of Parent–Child Relationship
2024
Overview
This study aimed to investigate the long-term effect of both paternal and maternal warmth on children’s subjective well-being and explore the intervening role of parent–child relationships and the moderating effect of child gender on above effect in Chinese families. A total of 1322 children (
M
age
at Time 1 = 10.30 years,
SD
= 0.33; 49.7% boys) and their parents (
M
age
of fathers at Time 1 = 41.63 years,
SD
= 5.22;
M
age
of mothers at Time 1 = 39.11 years,
SD
= 4.47) participated the questionnaire survey at two time points, 1 year apart. Parental warmth was reported by both fathers and mothers at the first time point, while parent–child relationship and subjective well-being were self-reported by children at the first and second time points. The results of our latent variable structural equation modeling revealed that parental warmth at Time 1 positively predicted children’s subjective well-being at Time 2 via both parents’ own relationship with their child and their spouse’s relationship with their child after controlling the children’s subjective well-being at Time 1. Furthermore, there was no child gender difference in the indirect effect of parent–child relationships on the long-term effect of parental warmth on children’s subjective well-being. These findings provide significant implications for the improvement of children’s subjective well-being and suggest that more parental warmth from both fathers and mothers can help build positive parent–child relationships, thereby further promoting mental health development among children in China.
Highlights
We investigated the long-term effect of parental warmth on children’s subjective well-being during late childhood in China.
Paternal and maternal warmth promoted children’s subjective well-being via their own and their spouse’s relationship with child.
Above effect and its psychological mechanism did not vary significantly between boys and girls.
