Path analysis with bootstrapping for mediation testing and PROCESS Macro's Model 1 for moderation testing were conducted.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Results</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Family conflict was significantly associated with all resiliency components negatively and with PSU positively, while only two resiliency components were significantly associated with PSU: β = −0.16, <i>p</i> &lt; .01 for tenacity and β = 0.11, <i>p</i> &lt; .01 for optimism. Bootstrapping results showed that the positive association between family conflict and PSU was partially mediated by tenacity (β = 0.021, 95% confidence interval [0.007, 0.039]) and optimism (β = −0.014, 95% confidence interval [−0.028, −0.004]) but not by strength. However, all three resiliency components played nonsignificant moderating roles on the link between family conflict and PSU.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusion</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Family conflict is a risk factor for low resiliency and high vulnerability to PSU. Among three resiliency components, tenacity plays a protective role against PSU, whereas optimism seems to serve as a risk factor for PSU. Tenacity should be prioritized while the risk of (excessive) optimism should be noted in resiliency-focused intervention for adolescent PSU.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48206,"journal":{"name":"Family Relations","volume":"75 1","pages":"160-177"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145958125","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
