Abstract

The present study aimed to explore whether resilient mindset and mental toughness mediated the relationship between strength-based parenting and student academic wellbeing, encompassing both subjective academic wellbeing and school achievement. The sample of this study included 507 Turkish young people from two high schools. Of the participants, 50.2% were female and 49.8% were male, with an age range of 15 to 17 years (mean of 15.57 with a standard deviation of 0.56). The study utilized a cross-sectional survey design with a self-report questionnaire that measured strength-based parenting, academic well-being, resilient mindset, and mental toughness. Multiple mediator analysis showed that strength-based parenting had a significant predictive effect on adolescent resilient mindset, mental toughness, and academic wellbeing but did not predict student school achievement. Further, student academic wellbeing was significantly predicted by resilient mindset and mental toughness. Subsequent results revealed that student academic wellbeing was a strong predictor of school achievement, and strength-based parenting predicted student school achievement through academic wellbeing. However, resilient mindset and mental toughness did not significantly predict student school achievement. These findings indicate that strength-based parenting is a critical factor in promoting resilient mindset, mental toughness, and academic wellbeing, and that developing resilient mindset and mental toughness can enhance the beneficial effects of strength-based parenting on student positive academic functioning.
