Structural equation modelling of the mediating role of self-compassion in the relationship between parental conflict tactics and psychological well-being in adolescents

Aim: The present study aimed to determine the mediating role of self-compassion in the relationship between parental conflict tactics and children's psychological well-being. Method: The research method was descriptive correlational type and the statistical population of this study included students of public and gifted high schools in Amol city in the second semester of ۲۰۱۸-۲۰۱۹ with a total of ۱۳۰۰ people. Thus, four public schools for girls and public schools for boys and gifted schools for girls and gifted schools for boys, and from the ۱۰th, ۱۱th and ۱۲th grades in each school, ۳ disciplines of humanities and experimental sciences and mathematics and physics by class sampling. (Based on academic grades) and finally, ۲۰۰ students were selected. The research tools included the Conflict Tactics Scale by Straus (۱۹۷۴); Self-Compassion Scale by Neff (۲۰۰۳) and Psychological Well-Being by Reff (۱۹۸۹). After removing the two outlier participants, the present research data were analysed using the structural equation modelling method. Results: In the present study, the direct path coefficient between self-compassion and psychological well-being was positive (β=۰.۳۴۲, P=۰.۰۰۱). The total path coefficient between mother-child conflict tactics and psychological well-being was negative (β-=۰.۳۷۰, P=۰.۰۰۲). The indirect path coefficient between father-child conflict tactics and psychological well-being was negative (β-= ۰.۱۲۷, P=۰.۰۰۱). Conclusion: It is suggested that adolescent self-compassion training be considered as a psychological tool to reduce the negative consequences of conflict between parents and children by education officials and school counsellors.Aim: The present study aimed to determine the mediating role of self-compassion in the relationship between parental conflict tactics and children's psychological well-being.
