Abstract: To examine the relationship between parental self-esteem and adolescents’ subjective well-being, the present study recruited 233 senior high school students along with their parents. Students completed the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, the Positive and Negative Affect Scale, and the Satisfaction with Life Scale. Parents completed the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and the Trusting Relationship Questionnaire. The results indicated that (1) parental self-esteem was positively associated with adolescents’ subjective well-being; (2) parent-adolescent trust mediated the relationship between parental self-esteem and adolescents’ subjective well-being; (3) adolescents’ self-esteem mediated the relationship between parental self-esteem and adolescents’ subjective well-being; (4) the results of mediation analysis showed the chain mediation effect of parent-child trust and adolescents’ self-esteem on the link between parental self-esteem and adolescents’ subjective well-being. The present findings have important implications for revealing the contributors of adolescents’ subjective well-being as well as its internal mechanism.

Key words: self-esteem, parent-adolescent trust, subjective well-being
