The family environment in which an individual resides plays an important role in the shaping of self-perception. The absence of a harmonious family environment may make it difficult for the individual to develop a clear and stable self-concept clarity due to a lack of relationship happiness and emotional reactivity. Conversely, harmonious family support positively supports self-concept clarity by maintaining the individual’s relationship happiness and emotional balance. In this research, the parallel mediating roles of relationship happiness and emotion reactivity in the relationship between family harmony and self-concept clarity were examined. The model in question was tested for the first time in a sample of parents. A total of 310 adults, consisting of 63 males (20.3%) and 247 females (79.7%), participated in the research (Mean age = 38.40; SD = 7.66). Analyses conducted using structural equation modeling (SEM) showed that both variables assumed significant parallel mediating roles in the relationship between family harmony and self-concept clarity. The findings reveal that supporting parents’ relational and emotion regulation resources is important in strengthening self-concept clarity.
