Abstract

 Aim: Relationships between family members is one of the main and influential pillars on adolescents' perception of well-being. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the mediating role of parental attachment in the relationship between perceived parental cooperation and perceived adolescent well-being. Method:The study population included all parents (parents) of adolescents aged 12-18 years with their adolescent children in Isfahan, from which 482 parents (241 father and 241 mother) and 241 children were selected using convenience sampling method. Participants answered the Parent-Peer Attachment Questionnaire (lPPA), and the KIDSCREEN-10 Quality of Life Questionnaire and the Parent-Collaborative Questionnaire (CRS-Brief). Data was analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and structural equationsusing spss-23and Amos-23 programs. Results: The results of fitness indices indicated the fit of the proposed model and Adolescent attachment to father (P<0.001) and mother(P<0.001) was able to play a mediating role in the relationship between perceived parental cooperation and adolescent perceived well-being. It should be noted that the direct paths of perceived parental cooperation to perceived well-being were not significant for father(P=0.16) and mother (P=0.22). Conclusion: Accordingly, by considering the role of variables such as perceived parental cooperation, adolescent attachment to parents and perceived well-being, the perceived cooperation of each parent and playing an effective role in child rearing can affect the psychological well-being of children by creating secure   attachment.
