Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating role of parentification in the relationship between boundary ambiguity with family support, family satisfaction, and perceived stress in adolescent girls in divorce families. For this purpose, 159 Girls from 12 to 16 years old were selected through voluntary sampling and they answered the boundary ambiguity scale, parentification scale, multidimensional perceived social support, multidimensional student's life satisfaction scale, and perceived stress scale. Path analysis was used to analyze the data. The results of this analysis confirmed the role of Parentification intermediation in relation to boundary ambiguity with family satisfaction and perceived stress. But this role was not significant in relation to boundary ambiguity with family support.Therefore, it is concluded that if the ambiguity in family boundaries does not disappear after parental divorce, parentification as a result of boundary ambiguity and with the effect of it results in reduced family support and increased perceived stress in adolescent girls and plays a mediating role in the relationship between boundary ambiguity, family satisfaction and perceived stress.
Key words: Boundary Ambiguity, Parentification, Family Support, Family Satisfaction, Perceived Stress.
