To explore the relationship between parental psychological control, school climate and future orientation of high school students. Methods: Totally1 430 senior high school students were evaluated with parental control questionnaire, Adolescent perceived Campus atmosphere questionnaire and Adolescent Future orientation questionnaire. The moderating effect of school climate was analyzed using Modell of the PROCESS macro. The bridge function in the network analysis methodology was usedto calculate the bridge expected influence index to evaluate the bridge nodes between parental psychological control and future orientation network, school climate and future orientation network. Results: The analysis of moderating effects shows a negative correlation between parental psychological control and future orientation (β= -0. 11, P < 0.001). Both positive and average school climates demonstrated a positive moderating effect (β=-0.11, 0. 17, P <0.001). The bridge expected impact index showed that the bridge connection nodes of parental psychological control and campus atmosphere on future orientation were guilt-thoughtfulness (bridge EI = 0. 23, 0. 19) and teacher support-optimism (bridge EI = 0. 19,0. 15). Conclusion: A positive school climate could mitigate the negative effects of parental psychological control on high school students' future orientation, with future emotional experience being a key aspect in how both influence the students' future direction.
