Abstract:
Objective: To explore the influence of family parenting styles and school climate on the personal growth initiative of upper-grade primary school students and examine the mediating role of attributional style in this relationship. Methods: 435 fifth and sixth grade primary school students were measured by the personal growth initiative scale- Ⅱ , multidimensional multiattributional causality scale, Delaware school climate scale, and parental bonding instrument. Results: (1) Family parenting styles, school climate, and attributional style were all significantly correlated with personal growth initiative; female students exhibited a higher level of PGI compared to their male counterparts. (2) Parental emotional warmth and school climate positively predicted the personal growth initiative of upper-grade primary school students. (3) Attribution to effort played a mediating role in the effects of parental emotional warmth and school climate on upper-grade primary school students’ personal growth initiative. Conclusion: Parental emotional warmth styles and school climate influence the personal growth initiative of upper-grade primary school students by sharing their effort-related attributions.
