Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate if the mediating impact of school violence victimization is moderated by self-esteem in the impact of parental abuse victimization on school life adaptation among 350 middle and high school students. For the analysis, SPSS WIn.21.0 and SPSS macro program were used. Reliability analysis, descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, mean comparison analysis, path analysis and biased correction bootstrap were conducted. Results of the study are as follow. First, there was significant correlation between parental abuse victimization and school life adaptation, self-esteem and school violence victimization. Second, self-esteem has a buffering impact in moderating indirect impact between parental abuse victimization and school life adaptation through school violence victimization. Results suggest that parental abuse victimization and self-esteem interaction among adolescents may serve as a new model for school life adaptation through school violence victimization.
