The Research On The Relationship Between Family Environment, Parenting Style And Adolescent Subjective Well-being

Family environment is the elementary environment for growth of adolescent. As one of the most critical factors, parenting style plays a crucial part. The questionnaire is basically focusing on the relationship between family environment, parenting style and adolescent subjective well-being.372 students were chosen by random to finish the survey.The results of study are as follows:Firstly, middle school students think much highly of their family environment than that of high school students; There is a significant difference between father's education and family environment harmony. More specifically, the higher of the father's the educational level, the much more concentration on the family atmosphere there will be. Meanwhile, it seems that there is no significant difference in the issue of family environment, gender and mother's education.Secondly, parents tend to take a "sympathetic understanding" modal as their method. However, with the growth of the children, this trend shows a dramatically decrease. For the fathers of boys, they punish the children with severe measures and refuse to admit the negative parenting style. Those parents with higher educational level are always in a positive educational mode. While mothers with lower educational level, easily punish their children in a negative way.Thirdly, generally speaking, the adolescent's subjective well-being level in this research is mostly in higher medium. It is clear that the relationship of the parents has a great influence on the adolescent's subjective well-being. At the same time, except the friendship factor, the junior high students' subjective well-being is higher than the high-school students'. Those students, whose father has a better educational level, enjoy a better feeling of happiness in the aspect of environment and study. On the other hand, such feeling of happiness has nothing to do with their mother's educational level.Lastly, there is a close link between family environment, parenting style and adolescents' feeling of happiness. Children are likely to enjoy themselves in a harmonious family atmosphere with active method. According to the analysis, we can draw the conclusion that the communication, harmony, training, mother's sympathetic understanding and father's excessively interference have a predictive function to adolescents' subjective well-being.
