Abstract

Objectives This study aimed to examine whether depression mediates and emotion recognition ability moderates the relationship between adolescents' perceived negative parenting attitude and life satisfaction.
 Methods Data of middle school freshmen from the ‘2018 Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey’ were used for the analysis. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and reliability analysis were conducted through SPSS. The mediating effect of depression on the relationship between perceived negative parenting attitude and life sat-isfaction, the moderating effect of emotional recognition ability on the relationship between perceived negative parenting attitude and depression, and the moderated mediating effect of the combination of those two models were analyzed.
 Results First, perceived negative parenting attitude showed a negative correlation with life satisfaction and emo-tion recognition ability and a positive correlation with depression. Second, depression was found to have a partial mediating effect on the relationship between perceived negative parenting attitude and life satisfaction. Third, emotion recognition ability was found to have a moderating effect on the relationship between perceived negative parenting attitude and depression. Fourth, depression and emotion recognition ability had a moderated mediating effect on the relationship between perceived negative parenting attitude and life satisfaction.
 Conclusions This study provided an empirical understanding of how perceived negative parenting attitudes ef-fects adolescents' life satisfaction and the possibility of introducing counseling intervention using emotion recog-nition capabilities for depressed adolescents. The significance and implications of the study were suggested, and the limitations and future research diresctions were discussed based on the findings.
