The Relationship Between Adolescent Volunteering Behavior and Mental Health:A Moderated Mediation Model
By means of the questionnaires,this study investigates the relationship between volunteering behavior,inten-tional self-regulation,and mental health among junior high and senior high school students.The findings indicate that volunteer-ing behavior positively predicts mental health,with intentional self-regulation mediating this relationship.In the initial stage of the model,only the self-regulation ability of high school students significantly improves with increased volunteering.In the later stage,intentional self-regulation positively predicts mental health for both junior high and high school students,but the improve-ment in mental health is more pronounced for high school students with an increase in their intentional self-regulation.Overall,this study reveals the mechanism through which volunteering behavior influences mental health in adolescents and provides evi-dence supporting the theory of positive youth development.
