A summary of the results of this study is as follows.

Secondly, the mediated moderating effect is existed as the mediated effect of self-identity on the effect of parents' parenting attitude(abuse, neglect) on life satisfaction has increased by interaction of parents' parenting attitudes(abuse, neglect) and depression.
