Abstract: Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems view adolescents’ development in the context of the surrounding environment. Nevertheless, numerous studies have focused on early childhood more than adolescence in the association with caregiver (mostly parents’) factors. This study employed these theories and latent class analysis (LCA) to examine how the mental health of adolescents are associated with primary caregiver factors. Specifically, we aimed to investigate how primary caregiver factors are relevant to the degree of adolescents’ depression and anxiety.
