“…Although there is no evidence of a direct link between strength-based parenting and meaning in life and prosocial behavior, previous research suggests that parenting practices and styles are closely related to the development of a sense of meaning in life (Kealy et al, 2022;Kolarik, 2010;Lambert et al, 2010) and prosocial behavior (Batool & Lewis, 2022;Carlo et al, 2007;Clark et al, 2015;Hastings et al, 2005). Consistent with the findings of this study, there is also evidence that this positive parenting practice is a significant and positive predictor of adolescents' subjective well-being (Arslan et al, 2022b;Waters, 2015a) and helps them overcome adverse experiences and stress (Allen et al, 2022;Waters, 2015b). Positive parenting practices characterized by consistent rules, positive communication, promotion of positive attributes, and safe opportunities enhance adolescents' social and emotional maturity (Naik & Saimons, 2014) and promote the socialization process (Batool & Lewis, 2022).…”

“…This scale was used to assess parents' knowledge and use of strengths (Jach et al, 2018). The internal reliability coefficient for this scale were strong for Turkish adolescents (Arslan et al, 2022b) and for the participants in the present study (see Table 1).…”

“…This parenting approach emphasizes on recognizing, promoting, and developing child's strengths and positive attributes to promote mental health and well-being (Allen et al, 2022;Arslan et al, 2022a). Parents respect their children's interests, encourage them to explore, and help them build self-confidence and a positive sense of self (Arslan et al, 2022b;Jach et al, 2018). Strengths-based parenting can lay the groundwork for children's increased self-esteem, independence, and social skills (Loton & Waters, 2017;Waters & Sun, 2016), providing a foundation for long-term happiness (Waters et al, 2019).…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate the direct and indirect relationships among positive parenting, meaning in life, prosocial behavior, and subjective well-being using a parallel and serial mediation model. We sought to examine whether meaning in life and prosocial behavior mediate the association between parenting and subjective well-being, and whether prosocial behavior mediates the relationship between this positive parenting and adolescents’ sense of meaning in life. This research involved 408 high school adolescents who were registered in a Turkish high school. The student composition was 30.5% male and 69.5% female, with ages ranging from 13 to 18 years (mean = 15.80, standard deviation = 1.27). Parallel mediation analyses indicated that meaning in life and prosocial behavior mediated the relationship between positive parenting (i.e., strength-based parenting) and adolescent subjective well-being. Furthermore, the serial mediation model revealed that these variables mediated this relationship, and prosocial behavior served as a mediator in the association between parenting and meaning in life. Additional results also suggested that the mediating role of meaning in life and prosocial behavior may differ between female and male adolescents. As a result, the study provides evidence that positive parenting practices are a significant factor in increased subjective well-being and that meaning in life and prosocial behaviors, in turn, enhance parents’ impact on adolescent well-being.

“…Specifically, strength-oriented parents acknowledge the things that their child is able to do well and encourage their child to use and develop their strengths ( Waters & Sun, 2016 ). Research on SBP has identified two overarching findings: (1) SBP is a protective factor that is inversely related to anxiety, depression, stress, and negative emotions; and (2) SBP is an enhancing factor that is positively related to life satisfaction, self-confidence, subjective wellbeing, positive emotions, and academic grades ( Arslan et al., 2022 ; Jach et al, 2018 ; Loton & Waters, 2018 ; Sağkal & Özdemir, 2019 ; Waters, 2015 ; Waters, Loton, & Jach, 2019 ).…”

The present study aimed to examine whether the level of strength-based parenting a student receives during remote learning affects their levels of academic motivation once returning to school. Additionally, the study sought to explore whether school belonging mediated the association between strength-based parenting and academic motivation and whether student strength use moderated this mediating relationship. The sample comprised of secondary school students who had recently returned back to campus, following a period of COVID-19 enforced remote learning ( n = 404; age range: 11 to 18 years; M = 14.75, SD = 1.59; 50.2% female, and 3% non-/other gendered or declined to answer). Strength-based parenting had a significant predictive effect on student academic motivation with school belonging mediating the association between strength-based parenting and academic motivation. The mediating effect of school belonging on the association between strength-based parenting and academic motivation was moderated by strength use during remote learning. The results of the study are discussed using a positive education lens with implications for improving skills and strategies to foster positive student functioning in times of remote learning and crisis.

Does Socioeconomic Status Moderate the Relationship Between School Belonging and School-Related factors in Australia?

Sense of school belonging has a strong impact on adolescents’ well-being, and whilst there are many factors that can influence school belonging, two of the most salient factors include perceived teacher support and exposure to bullying . While the association between school belonging and teacher support and school belonging and exposure to bullying are well documented in the literature, less is known about how these relationships vary depending on students’ socioeconomic status (SES). The aim of this study was to investigate whether SES moderated the relationship between school belonging and these school-related factors. The sample was drawn from the 14,273 Australian 15 and 16-year-olds who completed the 2018 Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development’s (OECD) Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) survey. Linear regression analyses revealed that the association between school belonging and teacher support was not moderated by SES and there was a positive relationship between SES and sense of school belonging, even after accounting for teacher support, exposure to bullying and other student and school characteristics. Despite limitations, this study fills a gap in the literature, provides a foundation for further research to build on, and has potential implications for how safety should be promoted for students of both high and low SES for teacher support to more strongly influence their sense of school belonging.
