The Mediating Effects of Subjective Well-Being and Self-Compassion on The Relationship between Parenting Styles and Ego-Resilience in Emerging Adults

This study examined the mediating effects of subjective well-being and self-compassion in the relationship between parental styles and emerging adults' ego-resilience. Data were collected from 256 emerging adults (ages 19~30) in South Korea. The results showed that parental styles, ego-resilience, subjective well-being, and self-compassion were significantly correlated. Self-compassion, with a stronger mediating effect than subjective well-being, partially mediated the relationship between parental styles and ego-resilience. These findings highlight the significant influence of parental styles, subjective well-being, and self-compassion on emerging adults' ego-resilience. Self-compassion plays a key role in enhancing ego-resilience in this relationship.
