The present research aimed at investigating the relationship between upbringing methods and children's happiness with the mediating role of parents' self-compassion among junior high school students in Tehran in the school year of 2018-2019. The study employed descriptive-correlational methodology. The population included junior high-school students with their mothers living in Tehran. 384 students along with their mothers were selected through multistage clustering method. Three questionnaires were used in this study: Oxford Happiness Questionnaire, Baumrind's Parenting Style questionnaire, and Neff's Self-compassion questionnaire.
The collected data was analyzed through Path Analysis and Lisrel. The results showed that the mediating role of parenting style was not significant with respect to the relationship between self-compassion and children's happiness (p>0/05). However, the direct effects of three variables, self-compassion, dictatorial parenting, and strict parenting were found to be meaningful (p<0/05).
The direction effect of dictatorial style on happiness was negative. The direction effect of self-compassion and strict style on happiness was positive. The aforementioned variables predict 49% of the score variance in happiness.
