Why is it important?
The results showed that childhood emotional abuse in adolescents’ childhood is a significant risk factor for subjective happiness. Emotional intelligence has a partial mediation effect on the relationship between childhood emotional abuse and subjective happiness. It is suggested that students’ emotional intelligence be enhanced to increase their subjective happiness. Although the conventional parenting style may be rooted in Chinese culture, a paradigm shift in parenting seems to be needed for Chinese parents.
Perspectives
It is noteworthy that parenting practices in childhood have a significant impact on children’s happiness even after a period of time. Efforts should be made to promote appropriate parenting methods and emotional intelligence in Chinese societies.
