Abstract: Based on questionnaire method, the present study was conducted among 537 junior school students from four Junior middle schools in Ningbo City by cluster sampling method to investigate the relationship between parental marital conflicts and adolescent depressive symptoms, while exploring the mediating role of psychological resilience and whether this role is mediated by social support. The results showed that:(1) psychological resilience played a mediating role between parents' conflict and adolescent depressive symptoms; (2) social support regulated the first half and second half of the mediation process in which parents' marital conflict affected adolescent depressive symptoms through psychological resilience. The findings revealed that the internal mechanism of parents' marital conflicts affecting depressive symptoms had important theoretical and empirical value for enhancing the strength of adolescent psychological resilience and reducing depression and other emotional problems.

Key words: parental conflict, depressive symptoms, psychological resilience, social support, adolescent
