The present study surveyed the mediating roles of youths’ ego-resiliency and cognitive triad in the relationship between parenting behaviors and youths’ life satisfaction. Previous studies have demonstrated that parenting behaviors and ego-resiliency are positively associated with physical and psychological health. The path model and mediation analyses were conducted based on the data collected from 159 middle school students in Seoul. The questionnaire items comprised the Korean version of parenting behaviors, including parent attachment, parent monitoring and abuse, ego-resiliency, self-esteem, view of the world, hope and demographic information. The results of data analysis are as follows. First, the research model predicted that parenting behaviors would have a direct effect on youths’ cognitive triad as well as ego-resiliency. Second, the view of the world, hope for the future and ego-resiliency all fully mediated the relationship between parenting behaviors and youths’ life satisfaction. In summary, a high quality of parenting was significantly related to developing ego-resiliency and a positive cognition about the world and the future.
