“…In other words, poor family functioning results in delinquent behaviors of adolescents via poor parental attachment and engagement in delinquent peer groups. Similarly, Du and Kim ( 38 ) found that poor family functioning contributed to parental depression, which subsequently resulted in the increase in delinquent behaviors of 450 American adolescents.…”

et al. 2022

According to the positive youth development (PYD) approach, PYD attributes such as psychosocial competencies are developmental assets which can promote the holistic development of adolescents, such as increase in thriving and decrease in risk behavior. Although there are research findings supporting this theoretical proposition, there are several weaknesses in this literature. These include a lack of studies examining family antecedents of PYD attributes and the mediating role of PYD attributes in the relationship between family functioning and adolescent delinquency. There are also few longitudinal studies utilizing large samples and validated measures of family functioning and PYD attributes in the scientific literature. In this study, we examined the predictive effect of family functioning on adolescent delinquency and the mediating role of PYD attributes. Using a short-term longitudinal study in Sichuan, China, we collected two waves of data from 4,981 adolescents aged 11 and above, with 6 months between the two waves. Analyses using structural equation modeling showed that family functioning at Wave 1 negatively predicted the level of and change in delinquent behavior at Wave 2, with PYD attributes at Wave 2 as a mediating factor. The present study enriches the conceptual framework on the role of family functioning and PYD attributes in adolescent delinquent behavior. The findings also suggest that strengthening family functioning and PYD attributes would protect adolescents from engaging in delinquent acts.

“…The theory emphasizes the interaction of individuals and different ecosystems (e.g., the microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, macrosystem, and chronosystem) and posits that all aspects of adolescents’ development are shaped by the direct and indirect impacts of these different ecosystems. Ecosystems consist of interactional and causal relations, that is, moderating and mediating relations, respectively (Du & Kim, 2020; Gaias et al, 2018).…”

Previous studies have illustrated a robust relationship between academic self-efficacy and academic performance. However, the underlying psychological mechanism of this relationship is still unclear. This study employed a moderated mediation model to examine whether academic buoyancy (ability to deal with academic challenges and setbacks in school daily life) mediated the relationship between academic self-efficacy and academic performance and whether social support moderated the mediation process. A total of 860 (M = 16.39, SD = 0.73) high school students in China completed questionnaires on academic self-efficacy, academic buoyancy, and social support. Academic performance was measured by standardized tests. The results indicated that academic buoyancy partially mediated the association between academic self-efficacy and academic performance. Social support moderated the first half of the path of the mediation model. The findings of the present study provide educational guidelines and suggestions for improving academic performance among high school students.

“…Numerous studies also demonstrated the negative impact of dysfunctional families on the mental health of adolescents. Poor family functioning not only directly damages teenagers' mental health but also leads to internalizing and externalizing problems [22] of adolescents through the depression [23] of caregivers [24]. In addition, bad family characteristics (i.e., dysfunctional family, low parental involvement) lead to increased exposure of adolescents to community violence [25,26].…”

The influence of social and family factors on adolescent mental health has been widely valued. Considering adolescents’ family systems in a broader social context facilitates a better understanding of their mental health, which also has special significance in the post-epidemic era. The purpose of the present study was to explore the relationship between social support and family functioning during adolescence. Students from two middle schools in Fujian province, China, were recruited as participants. Seven hundred and fifty-four participants completed the questionnaire twice in six-month intervals. We constructed a cross-lagged model by using IBM SPSS AMOS 26.0 to test the relationship between these two variables. Social support and family functioning predicted each other in the girls, but not for the boys’ sample. The results of this study suggested that the interaction between family and social factors and the possible gender differences should be considered when dealing with adolescents’ mental health problems.
