Abstract: The present study constructed a moderated mediation model to explore the relationship between parent-child relationship, peer relationship, teacher-student relationship and adolescents' subjective well-being. We used questionnaires to investigate 475 junior and senior high school students from Hunan and Gansu province. The results indicated that:(1) Parent-child relationship, peer relationship and teacher-student relationship can predict subjective well-being positively; (2) Peer relationship played a partial mediating role between parent-child relationship and subjective well-being; (3) The direct path of parent-child relationship's effect on subjective well-being is moderated by teacher-student relationship; (4) Teacher-student relationship moderated the first half path of the mediation model. Obviously, teacher-student relationship is an important moderator. Adolescents' subjective well-being could be improved via the establishment of good teacher-student relationship and the joint relationships of parent-child, peer, and teacher-student.

Key words: adolescents, subjective well-being, parent-child relationship, peer relationship, teacher-student relationship, moderated mediation
