Abstract: The study examined the relation between family socioeconomic status and teenagers' wisdom, and the mediating roles of positive parenting style and openness personality. 696 junior and senior middle school students were taken as the research object in this study. The results showed that:(1) teenagers' wisdom was positively correlated to family socioeconomic status, positive parenting style and openness personality; (2) positive parenting style played a fully mediating role in the relation between family socioeconomic status and teenagers' wisdom, but openness personality didn't play a mediating role in this relation. Openness personality played a partially mediating role in the relation between positive parenting style and teenagers' wisdom. In addition, positive parenting style played a fully mediating role in the relation between family socioeconomic status and openness personality. Positive parenting style and openness personality played a chain mediation effect between family socioeconomic status and teenagers' wisdom. The findings have significant implications that positive parenting style plays an important role in shaping the openness personality and promoting the development of teenagers' wisdom.

Key words: wisdom, family socioeconomic status, parenting style, openness personality, teenagers
