The Sequential Mediating Effects of Ego-Resilience and Peer Conflict Resolution Strategies in the Relationship between Parental Autonomy Support and School Life Adaptation Perceived by Middle School Students

The purpose of this study is to verify the sequential mediating effects of ego-resilience and peer conflict resolution strategies in parental autonomy support and school life adaptation perceived by middle school students. A survey was conducted on 253 middle school students in three places in Gyeongnam. Descriptive statistical analysis, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis were conducted with SPSS Ver 28.0 and Process Macro Ver 4.3, and the significance of the mediating effect was verified by bootstrapping. As a result, parental autonomy support, school life adaptation, ego-resilience, and peer conflict resolution strategies had a positive correlation, and parental autonomy had an indirect effect by sequentially mediating ego-resilience and peer conflict resolution strategies. This is meaningful in that it emphasized the environment of parental autonomy support and psychological and social factors such as ego-resilience and peer conflict resolution strategies for middle school students to adapt to school life, and presented basic data for education and program development of these variables.
