In order to explore the negative impact of parent-child communication inconsistency on boarding adolescents' school adaptation(academic adaptation, social adaptation and mental health), as well as the mediating effects of two coping styles (emotion-focused coping and problem-focused coping) and the moderating effect of gender, this study conducted a questionnaire survey among 287 boarding junior high school students. The results showed that, (1) parent-child communication inconsistency had a significant prediction on the three indicators of school adaptation; (2) emotion-focused coping played a negative mediating role between parent-child communication inconsistency and school adaptation, while problem-focused coping played a positive mediating role; (3) parent-child communication incongruency only indirectly affects boys' social adaptation and mental health through emotional coping, which was different to girls. These results indicated that the higher the degree of parent-child communication inconsistency is, the worse the school adaptation of boarding teenagers is; the two coping styles played differents mediating roles, which were greater for girls than boys.
