Abstract The present study discusses the relationship among Chinese adolescents’ parental involvement, core self-evaluation, and school adaptation. The Parental Involvement Behavior Questionnaire, Core Self-Evaluations Scale (CSES), and the School Adaptation Inventory were used to survey 1258 Chinese middle school students.

Abstract This study aimed to investigate the link between the exposure to intimate partner violence (IPV), core self-evaluations (CSE), and psychological adaptation of Chinese adolescents, through analysis of the results from the Survey of Children’s Exposure to Domestic Violence Scale, Core Self-Evaluations Scale, and Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire, involving a total of 597 Chinese middle school students. It is indicated that the exposure to IPV is positively correlated with lower levels of psychological adaptation and CSE, and CSE is positively correlated with higher levels of psychological adaptation. Mediation analysis revealed that CSE partially mediated the association between the exposure to IPV… More >
