Abstract: The present study aimed to examine the relationships among adolescents’ family functions, peer acceptance and pro-social behaviors and the moderating effect of left-behind status. 1060 students from grade 5 to grade 8 were surveyed. The results showed that: (1) family function, peer acceptance and pro-social behavior significantly positively correlated with each other; (2) adolescents’ peer acceptance partially mediated the relationship between family function and pro-social behavior; (3) the left-behind status moderated the latter half path of family function on pro-social behavior through peer acceptance. Specifically, for those un-left-behind adolescents, the effect of family function on pro-social behavior through peer acceptance was stronger than those former/present left-behind adolescents. In summary, this study uncovered the mechanism underlying the relationship between family function and pro-social behavior. Specific practical implications and directions for future research are discussed.

Key words: adolescent, family function, peer acceptance, pro-social behavior
