Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between a satisfactory school life and a supportive family environment in senior high school students in Tokyo. Methods: In February 2006, a questionnaire survey was conducted in 6,542senior high school students in the first grade of 174 Tokyo municipal senior high schools. Answers were obtained from 3,208 students representing a response rate of 49.0%. Mutual relationships were analyzed by covariance structure analysis. Results: A concept model was proposed using three latent variables determined by factor analysis. "A satisfactory school life"of the senior high school students, classified as a latent variable, was prescribed directly by"a supportive family environment", and developed indirectly through"the trouble experience". The decision coefficient of"a satisfactory school life"determined by this model was 51% for female students and 39% for male students. Conclusion: This study indicated that a supportive family environment was important for senior high school students to achieve a satisfactory school life. It became structurally clear that it was important for both students and family members to talk about school life in order for the studentsto develop a satisfactory school life.
