Abstract: Objective: While a link between strength-based parenting and social-emotional wellbeing has been previously established, little is known about the role that school belonging plays in moderating this relationship. The present study examined the mediating and moderating role of school belonging in the association of strength-based parenting with social-emotional wellbeing among young people. Method: The current study surveyed 343 students in grades 6-8 from Turkey, using the Strength-Based Parenting scale, Social and Emotional Health Survey-Primary, and School Belongingness Scale. Results: Mediation analyses showed that strength-based parenting predicted school belonging, gratitude, zest, optimism, and persistence and that school belonging mediated the effect of strength-based parenting on social-emotional wellbeing. Moderation analysis identified the predictive impact of strength-based parenting on student social-emotional wellbeing, only for those whose belonging was low to moderate. Conclusions: Overall, these results indicate the importance of school belonging on youth social-emotional wellbeing in the context of parental experiences. Discussed are the implications of the current study that can inform the policy and practice.
