Abstract: This study aimed to explore the influences of family socioeconomic status (family SES) and parenting on belief in a just world (BJW) of 24013 children and adolescents aged ranging from 10 to 15 years old. The results showed that:(1) family SES positively predicted general BJW and personal BJW; (2) authoritative parenting positively predicted general BJW and personal BJW, and the authoritarian and permissive parenting negatively predicted them; (3) the positive effect of authoritative parenting on BJW was stronger for high family SES students than low family SES students, and the negative effects of authoritarian and permissive parenting on BJW were stronger for low family SES students rather than high family SES students. Findings have significant implications for family interventions to improve the BJW, which can help children and adolescents to maintain mental health and pursuit of long-term goals.

Key words: children and adolescent, family socioeconomic status, parenting, general belief in a just world, personal belief in a just world
