Abstract: From the perspective of positive psychology, this study explored the influence of parental rearing style on learning engagement among high school students, largely focusing on the mediating effects of locus of control and resilience. We selected one model senior high school in each of the following cities:Zhengzhou, Kaifeng, Xuchang and Pingdingshan of Henan Province. With cluster sampling, a total of 1128 students in grade one and grade two from the four schools were recruited to complete a battery of questionnaires, including parental rearing style questionnaire, learning engagement scale, locus of control scale, and resilience scale. The results showed that positive parental rearing style positively predicted high school students' learning engagement, whereas negative parental rearing style negatively predicted high school students' learning engagement; both positive and negative parental rearing styles influenced high school students' learning engagement through the mediation effects of locus of control and resilience, and the mediation effects contained the three paths:the separate mediation effect of locus of control, the separate mediation effect of resilience, and the serial mediation effect of locus of control and resilience.

Key words: parental rearing style, locus of control, resilience, learning engagement, high school students
