discussion,the following conclusions are drawn:1.By using bivariate correlation analysis,it is showed that there are obvious connections between senior high school students' well-being and that of parents.Senior high school students' subjective well-being and psychological well-being are positively correlated to their parents' subjective well-being and psychological well-being,suggesting that when parents' well-being is high,well-being of high school students is high,and vice versa.2.Through the data analysis,it was found that from the aspects of parents marriage,age,occupation,education degree,hobbies,parental self-evaluation of family economic situation,and students' self-evaluation of academic achievement,parents' well-being as well as students' well-being is significantly different.On the whole,the well-being of high school students and that of their parents are on a high level.The score of psychological well-being of both students and parents is higher than that of subjective well-being.The score of parents' well-being is higher than that of the students in two dimensions.From the aspect of marriage,the well-being of the parents in the marriage and that of high school students are higher than that of the divorced parents and that of the students.From the aspect of age,the well-being of the parents aged 44-46 and that of the high school students are higher;the well-being of the students whose parents aged 46-47?50 or above are low.From the aspect of parents' occupation,the well-being of the parents whose occupation is a teacher or a doctor is higher while the well-being of the parents whose occupation is a farmer or a worker is lower.The well-being of students whose parents are teachers or doctors is high while the well-being of students whose parents are farmers or workers is low.From the aspect of educational degree,the well-being of the parents who got junior college degree,bachelor degree or master degree and the well-being of their children are high;the well-being of the parents who only finished high school or middle school,or even primary school and the well-being of their children are low.From the aspect of hobby and expertise,the well-being of parents whose hobby are art and painting is high,and so are their children.The well-being of parents who have no hobby is low,and so are their children.From the aspect of

situation.From the aspect of students' self-evaluation of academic achievement,the well-being of parents and the well-being of high school students increase with the increase of students'

self-evaluation of family economic situation is low;the students' self-evaluation of academic achievement is low,the well-being of high school students is lower than average.3.According to the results of data analysis,the causes of low well-being are stated ranging from the divorced parents,parents aged 47-49 and 50 years of age,parents' occupation for farmers,parents of low educational level,parents having no hobbies,parents' who rated family economic status through self-evaluation,students who rated poor achievement through self-evaluation.4.In the view of causes,countermeasures
