主观幸福感的代际传递：家长参与的中介作用

Intergenerational Transmission of Subjective Well-Being: The Mediating Role of Parental Engagement

摘要: 本研究旨在基于SSES数据集，研究主观幸福感的代际传递和父母参与的中介作用。采用结构方程模型(SEM)分析，结果表明父母参与在代际中介父母幸福感与儿童幸福感之间的联系。然后，使用多组SEM进一步分析4组之间的差异，包括年轻女孩组(女孩10~15岁)、大女孩组(女孩15~18岁)、小男孩组(男孩为10~15岁)和年龄较大的男孩组(男孩为15~18岁)。结果表明，父母参与在年轻女孩组、大女孩组和年轻男孩组中起中介作用。然而，在年龄较大的男孩组中，父母的参与并不能调节父母幸福感与儿童幸福感之间的代际联系。总之，当父母感到幸福时，他们更有可能参与孩子的生活并促进孩子的幸福感。

Abstract: This study is to examine the intergenerational transmission of subjective well-being and the medi-ating role of parental engagement, based on the SSES data set. Using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis, the result showed that parental engagement mediated the intergenerational link between parental well-being and children’s well-being. Then, further analysis using multiple-group SEM to examine the differences between four groups, including younger girls group (girls were 10~15 years old), older girls group (girls were 15~18 years old), younger boys group (boys were 10~15 years old) and older boys group (boys were 15~18 years old). The result showed that paren-tal engagement played a mediated role among the younger girls group, older girls group, and younger boys group. However, in the older boys group, parental engagement did not mediate the intergenerational link between parental well-being and children’s well-being. In conclusion, when parents felt happiness, they were more likely to engage in children’s lives and promote children’s well-being.
