Abstract

Although numerous studies have examined individual predictors of adolescent emotional health, there is a lack of integrative reviews that synthesize both personal and environmental factors within a coherent theoretical framework. This review addresses this gap by systematically synthesizing existing literature on the role of family environment, self-esteem, and personal growth initiative in shaping adolescents’ emotional health. Following PRISMA guidelines, relevant peer- reviewed articles published between 2000 and 2024 were identified through structured searches across major databases including PsycINFO, PubMed, Web of Science, and CNKI. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied, and a total of 68  studies were  reviewed.  This  review  is  grounded  in  Lazarus’  Cognitive  Motivational  Relational  Theory  and Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Theory, which together inform a conceptual framework illustrating the mediating role of self-esteem and the moderating role of PGI. The findings highlight how supportive family dynamics and proactive psychological traits interact to influence emotional well-being, offering valuable insights for intervention design and youth mental health policy.
