Abstract: Objective To explore the mediating roles of childrens difficulties and prosocial behaviour in the relationship between family resilience and grandparenting stress. Methods A total of 247 grandparents involved in co-parenting were surveyed using the Family Resilience Assessment Scale, the Grandparenting Stress Scale, and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire(parental version). Structural equation modeling was conducted using AMOS 24.0, and the Bootstrap method was employed to test the mediating effects. Results Family resilience was negatively correlated with both grandparenting stress and childrens difficulties(r=-0.22, r=-0.26; both P<0.01), and positively correlated with childrens prosocial behaviour(r=0.16, P<0.05). Childrens difficulties were positively correlated with grandparenting stress(r=0.39, P<0.01), whereas childrens prosocial behaviour was negatively correlated with grandparenting stress(r=-0.32, P<0.01). Childrens difficulties mediated the relationship between family resilience and grandparenting stress, with a mediation effect of -0.668, accounting for 48.94% of the total effect. Childrens prosocial behavior partially mediated the relationship between family resilience and grandparenting stress, with a mediation effect of -0.268, accounting for 19.43% of the total effect. Conclusion Family resilience can directly reduce grandparenting stress, and also indirectly alleviate it by decreasing childrens difficulties and enhancing childrens prosocial behaviour.

Key words: Grandparents, Grandparenting stress, Family resilience, Childrens difficulties, Childrens prosocial behaviour
