Abstract: The goal of the study was to explore the relations between parental rejection, problem behaviors, home chaos and peer rejection among children. Participants were 307 early adolescents from three elementary schools in Jinan and their mothers. Data were collected by using multi-source assessments, including self-reports, mother-reports and peer nominations. Results indicated that:(1) Parental rejection had a significantly positive prediction for peer rejection and externalizing problems of the elementary school students; (2) Externalizing problems of the elementary school students mediated the relationship between parental rejection and peer rejection; (3) The home chaos moderated the first half of the mediating process in which parental rejection influences peer rejection through children's externalizing problems. That is to say, the low home chaos can be used as a protective factor to reduce the risk of children's externalizing problems.

Key words: parental rejection, problem behaviors of children, home chaos, peer rejection
