Abstract

This study investigated the possible influence of parents’ socioeconomic status on their children’s well-being with focus on mediating effect of parents’ subjective well-being and autonomy support for their children’s well-being from the perspectives of self-determination theory. 730 Korean middle school students and their parents were investigated by survey questionnaires. Structural equation modeling was tested to analyse the data by using AMOS and Mplus. The results show that (1) parents of poorer economic condition have tendency to have poorer subjective well-being, and less autonomy supportive parenting, (2) parents’ economic condition has positive influence on their children’s psychological well-being via partial dual mediating effects of parents’ subjective well-being and autonomy support. (3) parents’ economic conditions has positive influence on their children’s subjective well-being via partial dual mediating effects of parents’ subjective well-being and autonomy support. (4) parents’ education level has positive influence on their children’s subjective well-being via full dual mediating effects of parents’ psychological well-being and autonomy support. (5) parents’ education levels has positive influence on their children’s psychological well-being via full dual mediating effects of parents’ psychological well-being and autonomy support. Based on these results, the educational implications were discussed.
