Previous studies have revealed that self-control was one of the critical factors of adolescent problematic mobile phone use. Few studies, however, have explored the interaction of internal control force (i.e., self-control) and external control force such as parental monitoring. The present study tested the interactive effect of self-control and parental monitoring on adolescent problematic mobile phone use and its gender differences. A sample of 926 adolescents completed our anonymous self-report survey. Results showed that self-control and parental monitoring negatively predicted problematic mobile phone use, while gender positively predicted problematic mobile phone use. Self-control and parental monitoring had an interactive effect on problematic mobile phone use, with the effect of self-control on problematic mobile phone use being stronger for adolescents with low levels of parental monitoring than for those with high levels of parental monitoring. Self-control and gender had an interactive effect on problematic mobile phone use, with the effect of self-control on adolescent problematic mobile phone use being stronger in girls than in boys. Moreover, there were significant gender differences in the interaction of self-control and parental monitoring, in that the interactive effect of self-control and parental monitoring on problematic mobile phone use was more potent in girls than in boys. The findings reveal how the internal control force (i.e., self-control) and external control force (i.e., parental monitoring) work together in explaining adolescent problematic mobile phone use and uncover the potential gender differences in exploring adolescent problematic mobile phone use from the individual-environment perspective. Limitations and implications are discussed.

“…38,39 Previous research has indicated that broad cultural backgrounds may influence the effects of parentadolescent interactions on adolescents' developmental outcomes. 40,41 Therefore, the contemporary Chinese cultural context may provide a unique milieu to examine the relationships between family communication quality, autonomy, future orientation, and life satisfaction. We intended to investigate whether the relationships between these variables in the Chinese cultural context would be different from those in Western cultural contexts because of the influence of traditional Chinese culture or similar to those in Western cultural contexts because of the influence of individualism.…”

Background: Previous studies have suggested that family communication quality is an important factor that can influence adolescents' life satisfaction. However, relatively few studies have examined this relationship in the Chinese cultural context or explored the potential mechanisms underlying this relationship. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate whether family communication quality is closely linked to Chinese adolescents' life satisfaction and whether this link was mediated by autonomy and future orientation. Methods: This study recruited 442 Chinese college students (67.19% girls) as participants. Based on a longitudinal design, the participants reported family communication quality at Time 1 and reported autonomy, future orientation, and life satisfaction at Time 2. Results: The results of correlation analysis showed the existence of a positive correlation between family communication quality, autonomy, future orientation, and life satisfaction. The mediation models showed family communication quality predicted adolescents' life satisfaction through the mediating effects of autonomy and future orientation. Furthermore, autonomy and future orientation not only independently mediated the relationship between family communication quality and life satisfaction but sequentially mediated this relationship. Conclusion: Autonomy and future orientation mediated the relationship between family communication quality and life satisfaction. The findings of the present study highlight the significance of elevating family communication quality and promoting adolescents' development of autonomy and future orientation to enhance their life satisfaction.

“…The interactions of parents and adolescents are embedded in a broad cultural background, and the effects of parenting practices are influenced by the match between parenting and cultural norms. 43 , 44 Since there are some unique characteristics of the Chinese cultural background, we would like to consider the effects of parenting practices in this specific cultural context. Unlike Western cultural values which place more importance on autonomy, traditional Chinese culture places particular emphasis on hierarchy and conformity to authority.…”

Background 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. Methods 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. Results 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. Conclusion 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.
