Abstract:   (194 Views)
Background: Adolescence is a crucial period for the development of knowledge and skills, learning how to manage emotions and relationships, and acquiring attitudes and abilities for adulthood. Among the issues and challenges faced by adolescents, the matter of adaptation holds particular significance. Therefore, this study aimed to predict adolescents' Environmental Adjustment based on family conflicts mediated by parent-child relationships in Tehran.
Methods: This research is applied in nature and is a descriptive-correlational study. The statistical population included all second-cycle high school students in Tehran during the academic year of 2021-2022. A total of 312 students were selected using cluster sampling. To collect data, questionnaires including the Family Environment Scale (FES) by Moos & Moos, the Parent-Adolescent Conflict Scale by Asadi Younesi et al., and the Parent-Child Relationship Scale by Fine, Moreland, and Shuyler were utilized. The collected data were analyzed using the Pearson correlation coefficient with SPSS-24 software and structural equation modeling (SEM) with Lisrel 8.8 software.
Results: The findings indicated a negative relationship between family conflicts and adolescents' Environmental Adjustment, while there was a positive and significant relationship between parent-child relationships and Environmental Adjustment. Additionally, parent-child relationships played a mediating role between family conflicts and adolescents' Environmental Adjustment.
Conclusion: Reducing family conflicts and fostering effective communication between parents and children can improve students’ environmental adaptation in educational and social settings. It is recommended that educational and counseling institutions enhance students’ environmental adaptation by providing parent training programs in conflict management skills and positive parenting.
