Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of parents’ positive and negative parenting attitudes on academic helplessness mediated by grit and depression of adolescents.
 To this end, data from the third year of the Korean Child-Youth Panel Survey 2018(KCYPS 2018) were used, and the results of analyzing structural equation model for 2,384 people are as follows.
 First, the direct effect of parents’ positive parenting attitude on academic helplessness was not significant, and negative parenting attitude had a positive effect on academic helplessness. Second, positive parenting attitudes had a positive effect on adolescents’ grit, and the effect on depression was not significant. Third, the grit of adolescents had a negative effect on academic helplessness, and depression had a positive effect on academic helplessness. Finally, as a result of the mediating effect analysis, grit completely mediates the effect of positive parenting attitudes on academic helplessness and partially mediates the effect of negative parenting attitudes on academic helplessness.
 Based on these results, we suggested the method to decrease the academic helplessness of adolescents.
