Abstract

The links between individual well-being and dyadic relationships and family functioning were examined in 378 Chinese parents and their children at two time points. Results showed that measures of individual well-being (life satisfaction and midlife crisis in parents, and adolescent life purpose, esteem, hopelessness, and general psychological health) and dyadic relationships (marital adjustment, marital satisfaction, parent-child relationship, and parent-adolescent conflict) were concurrently and longitudinally related to parents' and children's views of family functioning. Relative to measures of individual well-being, dyadic measures were found to exert stronger influence on family functioning perceived by parents and adolescents.
