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

  1. When were parental warmth and adolescent outcomes measured?
  2. What role did gratitude play in the statistical model?
  3. 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.
