نبذة مختصرة : This study explored the associations between family support and satisfaction with life, food-related life and family life. It also assessed the associations between both parents&rsquo
work-life balance and satisfaction with life, food-related life and family life among adolescent children from dual-earner families. Questionnaires were administered to 303 dual-earner families with one child between 10 and 17 years in Temuco, Chile. Adolescents answered the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), Satisfaction with Food-related Life scale (SWFoL), Satisfaction with Family Life scale (SWFaL) and the Family subscale of the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support. Both parents answered the Work-life Balance (WLB) scale. Using structural equation modelling and having controlled for adolescents&rsquo
gender, age and socioeconomic status, we confirmed that adolescent life satisfaction is associated with satisfaction with family life and food-related life. Food-related life satisfaction and family life satisfaction had complete mediating roles between perceived family support and adolescents&rsquo
life satisfaction. Satisfaction with food-related life also had a complete mediating role between both parents&rsquo
WLB and adolescents&rsquo
life satisfaction. Satisfaction with family life had a complete mediating role between mothers&rsquo
life satisfaction. In addition, mothers&rsquo
WLB was positively associated with perceived family support among adolescents. These findings suggest the need to improve family support and work-life balance among mothers in order to enhance adolescents&rsquo
satisfaction with different domains of life in dual-earner families.
