Abstract: Abstract The positive parenting styles and the self-esteem of the parents are two factors that affect Self-regulated learning (SRL). Moreover, the variable of self-esteem is influenced by the positive parenting styles. However, previous studies have investigated only the cross-sectional relationship between positive parenting styles and SRL and that between positive parenting styles and self-esteem. This study explored the relationship between positive parenting styles and self-regulated learning in Chinese adolescents and verified the mediating role of self-esteem in this relationship. The study used the panel data of 1180 1 adolescents (age, 10–15 years) from the 2014 China Family Panel Studies. The main variables were positive parenting styles, self-esteem, and SRL. The results showed that self-esteem plays a partial, but significant, mediating role in the relationship between parents’ positive parenting styles and adolescents’ SRL ability. This study emphasised that self-esteem is a variable that influences the SRL ability. The more active the parents are, the better the SRL ability of the adolescents is. Positive parenting styles have been proven to promote self-esteem development and can affect the SRL ability of adolescents.
