We investigated the effects of perceived parenting styles, causal attributions for academic success/failure, and perceived school performance (PSP) on adolescents’ psychological well-being (PWB). Participants were 200 Brazilian adolescents who answered the Parenting Styles & Dimensions Questionnaire, the Psychological Well-Being Scale, and the Rating Scale of Causal Attributions for Academic Success/Failure (RSCA). The results showed that adolescents’ PWB was predicted by authoritative parenting style (APS), internal and controllable attributions (appropriate motivations to cope with academic success/failure; ICASF), and PSP. In addition, we tested a mediation model showing that the ICASF mediated the relationship between APS and PSP, which in turn led to better PWB. These results highlighted the relevance of parenting styles and school-based causal attributions for the understanding of adolescents’ mental health. Our findings can support interventions that enable more effective teaching–learning processes, which are associated with higher levels of mental health for the adolescent population.

青少年的心理健康：养育方式的作用、学业成功/失败的因果归因以及对学校表现的感知

我们调查了感知的养育方式、学业成功/失败的因果归因以及感知的学校表现（PSP）对青少年心理健康（PWB）的影响。参与者是 200 名巴西青少年，他们回答了养育方式和维度问卷、心理健康量表以及学业成功/失败因果归因评定量表 (RSCA)。结果表明，青少年的PWB是通过权威教养方式（APS）、内部可控归因（应对学业成功/失败的适当动机；ICASF）和PSP来预测的。此外，我们测试了一个中介模型，表明 ICASF 中介了 APS 和 PSP 之间的关系，这反过来又导致更好的 PWB。这些结果强调了父母教养方式和基于学校的因果归因对于理解青少年心理健康的相关性。我们的研究结果可以支持能够实现更有效的教学过程的干预措施，这与青少年群体更高水平的心理健康有关。
