Abstract :
Objective:
This study aims to examine the role of family
functioning as a mediator in the relationship between
family parenting styles and peer relationships among
adolescents aged 12-16.
Methods:
A questionnaire survey was conducted with 1,104
adolescents aged 12-16 from two secondary schools in
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Participants completed
self-assessment questionnaires, and 996 valid responses
were analyzed using SPSS 26.0 and the SPSS macro
program PROCESS 4.0 (Hayes, 2013).
Results:
The analysis revealed that family functioning
partially mediates the influence of five family parenting
styles—emotional warmth, trust and encouragement,
indulgence, authoritarianism, and neglect—on peer
relationships among adolescents.
Conclusion:
The five dimensions of family parenting style impact
peer relationships through family functioning,
highlighting its significant role in enhancing peer
interactions among adolescents.
