“…However, their self-control system may be activated under the regulation of network morality mechanisms, which may reduce the likelihood of cyberbullying behavior. For individuals with a high level of self-control, with the improvement of the network morality level, it is more and more difficult for individuals to detect the inconsistency between unethical behavior and moral standards, and the self-control system is more and more activated [ 23 , 24 ].…”

“…For individuals with a low degree of self-control, a negative association between network morality and cyberbullying behavior may be significant. According to the theory of idiosyncratic moral disengagement, when an individual’s self-control ability is weak and their level of network morality is lower, the individual more easily displays the network aggressive behavior [ 23 , 24 ].…”

Cyberbullying is an important issue which prevails among children and adolescents. The present study aimed to investigate the association between network anonymity and cyberbullying behavior and examine the mediating role of network morality and the moderating role of self-control in the linkage of network anonymity and cyberbullying behavior. A total of 620 participants were recruited from three high schools in southeast China and were required to complete a questionnaire measuring network anonymity, cyberbullying behavior, network morality, and self-control. A moderated mediation model was conducted by using PROCESS Macro for SPSS 3.5. The results showed that network anonymity was negatively associated with cyberbullying behavior among Chinese adolescents. Network morality mediated the association and self-control moderated the indirect association between network anonymity and cyberbullying behavior via network morality. These findings indicate that improving the network morality and self-control of adolescents with the joint efforts of individuals, families, government, and society as a whole may be an effective intervention strategy for cyberbullying behavior under the framework of digital citizens.

“… 46 When parents set limitations on their children’s behaviors and propose demands for them, Chinese adolescents tend to regard parental demandingness as normative, interpret this parenting practice as a highly involved concern, and perceive parents’ good intention of promoting children’s development. 47 Therefore, Chinese adolescents exposed to high levels of demandingness also feel satisfied with life. As for the promotion effect of autonomy granting on adolescents’ life satisfaction, it may be that adolescents are inclined to endorse the cultural values of autonomy and individuality in the process of experiencing interaction between Western and Chinese cultural values.…”

“… 46 In this cultural context, adolescents tend to interpret parental demandingness with positive meaning, such as a highly involved concern and care rather than domination and control. 46 , 47 With the social change, traditional Chinese cultural values are constantly interacting with Western cultural values, and some cultural values are changing towards individualism (eg, encouraging autonomy). 48 Under the current Chinese cultural background, autonomy granting may meet adolescents’ needs, thus promoting their positive development.…”

Background Life satisfaction is a critical antecedent of adolescents’ positive development in many domains. To promote adolescents to feel more satisfied with their lives, it is important to identify the factors influencing life satisfaction and to further investigate the inner mechanisms. The purpose of this research was to examine whether parenting practices were closely associated with life satisfaction among Chinese adolescents and whether these associations were mediated by adolescents’ resilience. Methods In this one-year interval longitudinal study, 353 students (50.7% girls) in Grade 7 and Grade 10 were recruited as participants. At the first wave of assessment, they reported parenting practices and resilience; at the second wave of assessment, they rated the level of life satisfaction. Results The results of this study revealed that parental responsiveness, demandingness, and autonomy granting promoted adolescents’ life satisfaction. Additionally, parental responsiveness and demandingness positively predicted adolescents’ life satisfaction through the mediating effect of adolescents’ resilience; however, resilience did not significantly mediate the relation between autonomy granting and adolescents’ life satisfaction. Conclusion Adolescents’ resilience plays a mediating role in the relations between parental responsiveness and demandingness and adolescents’ life satisfaction. The present study highlights the significance of providing adolescents with positive parenting practices and promoting adolescents’ development of resilience to elevate their life satisfaction.

“…Different with precious studies in western countries (Greene et al, 2020 ), we did not find the relationship between child abuse and physical neglect group parents and offspring behavioural problems. As the Chinese proverb that states, ‘Beating and scolding is the emblem of love,’ reflects the society's acceptance of corporal punishment by parents (Liu et al, 2021 ). Responsible parents in China are viewed as parent with ‘seriousness and lack of affection.’ Therefore, the negative effect of childhood abuse and physical neglect may be mitigated in Chinese society (Chang et al, 2021 ).…”

Background: Although intergenerational transmission of ACEs among parents and their offspring have been extensively studied in the West, few studies have been conducted in China on preschool children and their parents, and explore the protective fact for the intergeneration transmission. Objective: Using latent class analysis and moderation model, this study examined the associations between patterns of adverse childhood experiences of Chinese preschool parents and behavioural problems in their children and whether coparenting quality plays a protective role in this relationship. Method: A retrospective study was conducted on 3091 parent–child dyads from 11 kindergartens in the northern, central, and southern Anhui provinces in China. Online questionnaires were used to collect the data. Parents reported adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and provided information on their children's behavioural problems and perceived coparenting quality. Latent class analysis and a moderating model were used to examine the associations between patterns of adverse childhood experiences of Chinese preschool parents and behavioural problems in their children, and the moderating role of coparenting quality. Results: Four classes were identified: a high ACEs group, a violent victimisation group, a child abuse and physical neglect group, and a low ACEs group. Increasing levels of co-parenting quality were associated with reduced parent-reported child behaviour problems for all classes, and that potentially buffering effect was significantly stronger for the low ACEs class than for children whose parents in high ACEs class. Conclusions: Exposure to high ACEs increases the risk of developing behavioural problems in offspring, and coparenting quality may serve as a protective mechanism for intergenerational transmission. Future research should develop and implement interventions to support disadvantaged, at-risk parents and promote coparenting quality.
