Abstract
Feeling adequately heard by adults is a crucial factor in children's life satisfaction. Despite this, few studies have explored the underlying processes from an international perspective. The current study aimed to investigate the mediating effect of perceived safety and the moderating effect of collectivism. Using data from 22,688 children in 18 countries, the study found a positive association between being adequately heard by adults and children's life satisfaction. Furthermore, the relationship was mediated by perceived safety. The study also revealed that the impact of being adequately heard by adults on perceived safety and children's life satisfaction was moderated by collectivism. The findings of this study have significant theoretical and practical implications for improving children's life satisfaction.
