Abstract: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the mediating effect of children's self-concept on the relation between parental warmth and child social and academic outcomes.Based on a sample of 612 children from primary and secondary schools and their parents,the structural equation modeling results showed that parental warmth had a significant effect on children's development through children's self-evaluation system.Specifically,children's general self-acceptance mediated the relation between parental warmth and children's social withdrawal.Children's academic self-concept also mediated the relation between parental warmth and children's academic achievement.These results add to the understanding of self-concept which affects children's social and academic performance both directly and indirectly by channeling parenting influence on children's behavior.

Key words: mediating Effect, parental warmth, self-concept, social withdrawal, academic achievement
