Abstract
Family is the first classroom for nurturing children’s self-esteem. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between family functioning and self-esteem among Chinese children and youth. A meta-analysis comprising 51 studies with 52,253 adolescents revealed a statistically significant moderate correlation between family functioning and self-esteem (r = 0.326, 95 % CI [.279, 0.371]). Moreover, moderation analysis indicated that gender and the proportion of only children moderated the relationship. These results provide evidence for the significance of involvement in family functioning as a means of enhancing individual self-esteem, thereby offering guidance for future research in family education. Furthermore, the implications of these findings for family functioning and self-esteem are discussed.
