摘要：It is well-documented that child quality of life is associated with family socio-economic status (SES). However, few studies have examined the potential mediating effects of different types of parenting practices between the two variables. The current study aims to examine the influences of SES and parenting practices on child quality of life and the mediating effects of parenting practices on the relationship between SES and child quality of life in the context of China. A total of 1,401 children aged 8-14 and 1,401 parents were involved in a cross-sectional survey in Shanghai, China. Pediatric Quality of Life Generic Core Scales and Alabama parenting questionnaire were used to measure child quality of life and parenting practices. Family SES was assessed by self-reported family monthly income and parental education level. Multivariate regression analysis was conducted to examine the associations among SES, parenting practices and child quality of life. The direct and indirect relationship between SES and quality of life were examined as well. The results have shown that a higher level of SES and positive involvement are associated with better child quality of life while deficient monitoring is negatively associated. Besides, parents' positive involvement acts as a full mediator between SES and child quality of life, while deficient monitoring acts as a partial mediator. These findings have given implications for future studies, interventions, and policy making. For social workers, education of positive parenting strategies should be provided to parents with low SES. For policy makers, programs should be designed to improve parenting skills in current China.
