본 연구에서는 중국 고등학생들을 대상으로 이들이 지각한 부모양육방식과 성격강점 및 학교적응 간의 상호관련성과 이들 변인들에 대한 성차를 살펴보고, 지각한 부모양육방식과 성격강점이 학교적응에 직 간접적인 영향을 미치는지에 대해 살펴보고자 하였다. 본 연구의 최종 분석 대상은 중국 하남성 정주시에 소재한 고등학교 재학생 총 378명이었다. 본 연구 결과, 부모양육방식과 성격강점 및 학교적응은 상호 유의미한 관련을 보였으며, 부모양육방식의 하위 요인인 '권위주의적' 요인과 성격강점의 하위 요인인 '용기' 요인 및 학교적응의 하위 요인인 '교우관계' 요인만이 유의미한 성차를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 부모양육의 '권위주의적' 요인이 성격강점에 직접적으로 부정적인 영향을 주고 있으며, 성격강점을 통해 학교적응에 간접적으로 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 아울러 부모양육의 '민주적' 요인이 성격강점에 직접적으로 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤으며, 성격강점을 통해 학교적응에 간접적으로 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과는 향후 자녀양육에 대한 부모교육 및 학교적응 증진을 위한 프로그램 개발과 중국 청소년을 이해하고 한국과 중국 간의 교육적 차원에서의 교류를 활성화하는데 도움이 되는 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Objectives: This study aimed to examine the relationship between Chinese adolescents' academic performance and smartphone overdependence as well as the moderating effects of parental involvement. Method: For this study, a survey was conducted with 472 adolescent students in three middle schools (n = 224) and three high schools (n = 248) in Shanghai, China. The survey consisted of the "S-Scale for Smartphone Addiction," the "Parental Involvement Scale," and questions regarding perceived academic performance using a demographic questionnaire. Results: The following are the major findings. First, after controlling for the students' demographic characteristics, hierarchical multiple regression analysis revealed that the students' perceived academic performance was negatively related to the levels of smartphone overdependence. Second, this study found significant moderation effects of parental involvement on the relationship between academic performance and smartphone overdependence. Chinese adolescents with low levels of perceived academic performance and high levels of perceived parental involvement showed high levels of smartphone overdependence. Finally, this study found significant moderation effects of parental involvement on the relationship between academic performance and smartphone overdependence only in middle-school students. Conclusions: These results indicate the need for healthy smartphone use and education and therapy programs for Chinese parents and adolescent children to prevent smartphone overdependence.

Although parent-child relationships are fundamental aspects of human development across all societies, this relationship is also shaped in significant ways by culture. Therefore, the present study sought to determine whether adolescent autonomy was predicted in a similar or differential manner by several parent-adolescent variables consisting of parenting behavior, parental authority, and parents' educational attainment in samples of Chinese and American adolescents. The sample for this study included 418 Chinese adolescents and 226 American adolescents. Utilizing structural equation modeling, the results revealed that the effect of paternal authority on adolescent autonomy development is indirect, with the indirect effect being mediated by the authoritative parenting behaviors for both cultural groups. Therefore, the analyses for Chinese and European American youth generated similar association patterns, such that parenting behaviors served as a mediator in the relationship between paternal authority and adolescents' autonomy development. The significance of this present study is to contribute to existing knowledge in the field of adolescent development and to the literature on how parental behaviors and authority in collectivistic societies and individualist societies influence adolescent development.
