| ABSTRACT |
|
The present study explored effects of significance of study, pressure for study, and pressure for success on life satisfaction of adolescents, and moderating effect of parent-adolescent communication. Participants were 1,384 adolescents in elementary, middle, and high school, and they responded all the questionnaires by themselves. Results were as follows. Firstly, there were significant differences in extent of significance of study, pressure for study and success, parent-adolescent communication, and life satisfaction of adolescents according to their demographic variables. Secondly, the more they got significance on study, and the more their parents emphasized study and success, the lower their life satisfaction was. Finally, there was a moderating effect of parent-adolescent communication. As adolescents had a positive communication with their parents, the negative effects for the significance of study and pressure for study and success on their life satisfaction were lessened. |
