摘要

This study drew on a bioecological framework to examine the influence of family and school experiences during adolescence on the mental health and wellbeing of emerging adults. A sample of 211 Australian emerging adults aged 18 to 29 years (M age = 23.47 years; SD = 3.25) completed an online survey containing a series of standardized questionnaires to assess their current levels of wellbeing (i.e., hope, self-efficacy) and mental health (i.e., emotional difficulties). Participants also retrospectively recalled their experiences at school and home during year 10 at high school, reporting on their relationship with one nominated parent and their teachers, parental support for their education, and engagement in school. Supporting the important continuing role of the family and school systems into emerging adulthood, the study found that parent-adolescent hostility independently predicted current mental health and wellbeing, while parental education support and school engagement were uniquely related to current wellbeing. This study makes a unique contribution to prior research by using a retrospective research design to simultaneously examine the role of key parenting and school influences on emerging adults’ mental health and wellbeing, enhancing our understanding of how these systems continue to serve as protective factors for young people beyond adolescence and into adulthood.
