The Relationship Between Family Functioning and Depressive Symptoms in Primary School Children: The Mediating Role of Friendship Quality and the Moderating Role of Teacher–Student Relationship

Abstract

Effective family functioning was significantly associated with improved friendship quality in primary school children, which in turn was associated with lower depressive symptoms. This association was further strengthened by a positive teacher-student relationship. These findings provide valuable insights for developing collaborative interventions within the family-school framework to address childhood depression.
