摘要：This study examined the relationship between parenting,the quality of peer relationships,and loneliness in adolescents. This study also examined the mediating effects of the quality of peer relationships on the relationship between parenting and adolescents` loneliness. A total of 506 1st and 2nd grade middle school students (261 boys and 245 girls) from the Seoul Metropolitan area completed measures of parenting,the quality of their peer relationships,and loneliness. The results indicated that adolescents` perceptions of parenting and the quality of their peer relationships were significantly related to their feelings of loneliness. Specifically,adolescents` perceptions of low levels of parental monitoring and high levels of abusive and neglectful parenting were associated with high levels of loneliness. Adolescents who perceived the quality of their peer relationships to be low reported high levels of loneliness. Further,the quality of peer relationships mediated the relationship between parenting and adolescents` loneliness;however,the pattern of associations differed for boys and girls. These findings suggest that both parent and peer relationship factors should be considered in combination in order to better explain loneliness in adolescents.
