Abstract: Present study was investigated the mechanism of linking parental autonomy support to adolescents' positive emotional adjustment through basic need satisfaction. A total of 1912 Junior high school student participated in this study. Parental autonomy support was assessed by Parental Autonomy Support Scale. Positive emotional adjustment was measured by Satisfaction with Life Scale, Self-Esteem Scale and Positive Affect and Negative Affect Scale. Basic need satisfaction was assessed by Chinese version of Basic Psychological Needs Scale. The results indicated that: (1) Parental autonomy support has a significant positive predictive effect on adolescents' positive emotional adjustment; (2) Parental autonomy support can affect adolescents' positive emotional adjustment through the mediating effect of basic need satisfaction; (3) Basic need satisfaction play a moderating role between Parental autonomy support, positive emotion and life satisfaction. The results of the study help to reveal the mechanism of parental autonomy support on adolescents' positive emotional adjustment, and have certain implications for future research.
