“…Intercepts and slopes were higher among men. These results support previous studies that found female adolescents had lower life satisfaction [12e15] and showed gentler slopes for life satisfaction across time than men [12]. Perceived parental neglect increased from 2013 to 2016 among men and women; however, intercepts of women were larger than those of men.…”

“…Based on the results ahead, as a result of confirming the longitudinal mediation effect, the mediating effects of perceived parental neglect were significant regarding gender influences in the intercept of life satisfaction during 2013 and the four-year slope. Similar to the results of this study, previous studies on Korean adolescents' life satisfaction found gender effects on life satisfaction [12,15]. They also found that life satisfaction of male students was higher than that of female students, and the slope was slower in female students [12,15].…”

Purpose: The life satisfaction of Korean adolescents tends to decrease beginning in middle school, and this decrease has a negative effect on life satisfaction in adulthood. Gender and perceptions of parental neglect are important variables influencing the life satisfaction of adolescents in Korea. This study examined the longitudinal mediating effects of perceived parental neglect on the life satisfaction of male and female Korean adolescents to assess changes to the relationships between key variables over time. Methods: The present study analyzed data from 2,215 adolescents from the Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey's fourth-year elementary school panel spanning their first year of middle school (2013) to the first year of high school (2016). A latent growth model was applied to Korean national data. Results: The perceived parental neglect and life satisfaction intercepts differed by gender, and the intercept of perceived parental neglect influenced the life satisfaction intercept. The slope of perceived parental neglect, but not the life satisfaction slope, differed by gender, and the slope of perceived parental neglect influenced the life satisfaction slope. The Sobel method showed that the intercept of perceived parental neglect mediated gender differences in the life satisfaction intercept, and the slope of perceived parental neglect significantly influenced the gender difference in the life satisfaction slope. Conclusion: Efforts to improve adolescent life satisfaction should be differentiated by gender regarding perceptions of parental neglect.
