How are parental warmth, gratitude and school climate associated with prosocial behavior?
Connects parental warmth, gratitude and prosocial behavior while considering school climate. It provides a concrete bridge between family relationships and the wider environments that can support kindness.
Who was studied?
Chinese adolescents and parents surveyed at different assessment points.
Age / stage: Adolescence
Read with three questions
- When were parental warmth and adolescent outcomes measured?
- What role did gratitude play in the statistical model?
- How did school climate change the gratitude–prosocial-behavior association?
Keep the limits in view
The two-time-point mediation model is observational; it cannot prove the proposed sequence of mechanisms. Reported associations may depend on the Chinese school and family context.
