TITLE: The Impact of Parental Behavioral Control on High School Students’ Prosocial Behavior: A Chain Mediation Model
AUTHORS: Huilian Wu
KEYWORDS: Parental Behavioral Control, Psychological Resilience, Gratitude, Prosocial Behavior

ABSTRACT: This study investigates the mechanism by which parental behavioral control influences high school students’ prosocial behavior, focusing on the mediating roles of psychological resilience and gratitude. Analyzing data from 938 students, the authors find that parental control positively predicts prosocial behavior directly and indirectly through psychological resilience and a chain mediation of resilience to gratitude. However, gratitude alone does not serve as an independent mediator between parental control and prosocial behavior.
