Mediating role of self-esteem in the effects of life events on the subjective well-being of secondary vocational school students
Objective To study the relationships of life events and self-esteem with subjective well-being of secondary vocational school students,and to explore the mediating effect of self-esteem between life events and subjective well-being of secondary vocational school students.Methods A total of 4,378 secondary vocational school students were investigated by Self-Esteem Scale(SES),General Well-Being Scale(GWB)and Adolescent Self-Rating Life Events Check List(ASLEC).The path model was constructed and analyzed using R 4.2.1 software,and Bootstrap confidence interval estimation was used to test whether the mediating effect of self-esteem was significant.Results The scores of self-esteem,life events and subjective well-being in male students were(27.86±4.67),(43.35±17.18)and(78.02±14.00)respectively,and those in female ones were(27.34±4.52),(40.98±14.02)and(75.54±13.64)respectively.The scores of self-esteem,life events and subjective well-being were significantly higher in male students than in female ones(all P＜0.001).Life events were significantly negatively correlated with both subjective well-being and self-esteem(r=-0.455,P＜0.001;r=-0.260,P＜0.001),while self-esteem was significantly positively correlated with subjective well-being(r=0.498,P＜0.001).Self-esteem was found to play a partial mediating role between life events and subjective well-being in the secondary vocational school students,with the contribution rate of mediating effect to the total effect being 23％.Conclusion Life events can directly affect the secondary vocational school students'subjective well-being,and can also indirectly affect their subjective well-being through self-esteem.
