A Study on the Cultivation Model of Interpersonal Values among Junior High School Students

This study examines the cultivation of interpersonal values among junior high school students from the perspective of filial piety culture. Drawing on questionnaire data from 786 students, it investigates the relationships among filial piety beliefs, value orientations, and interpersonal relationships. The results show that students exhibit higher levels of reciprocal filial piety than authoritarian filial piety. Moreover, filial piety beliefs are positively associated with constructive value orientations, including collectivism and family affection. A formal mediation analysis confirmed that positive values (collectivism, family affection, peer relationship) significantly mediate the relationship between reciprocal filial piety and interpersonal relationship quality, providing empirical evidence for the proposed causal pathway. Reciprocal filial piety, in particular, is positively related to interpersonal trust and parent-child closeness. Based on these findings, the study proposes a multidimensional cultivation model centered on filial piety culture, which integrates filial piety education into moral education through curriculum development, experiential activities, and immersive campus culture. This model offers a practical framework for promoting healthy interpersonal values among junior high school students
