ABSTRACT
This present investigates the longitudinal relations among children’s perception of rejection and control in parenting, rumination and school adjustment in late childhood. 245 students and their school teacher completed a questionnaire including these variables when they are fourth and fifth graders. The results of the correlation analysis showed that children’s perception of rejection and control in parenting at the 4th year is positively related to their rumination both at the 4th and 5th year and negatively related to their school adjustment. The path analysis revealed that the perception in parenting at the 4th year has a direct effect on their rumination and school adjustment at the 4th year and is related to their perception in parenting at the 5th year. The results showed that children’s perception of parenting at the 5th year has an effect on their school adjustment being mediated by their rumination but has no direct effect on their school adjustment. In addition, the perception in parenting at the 4th year has an indirect effect on their school adjustment at the 5th year by being mediated by school adjustment at the 4th year, rumination at the 4th and 5th year, and the perception in parenting at the 5th year.
