Psychological distress and positive self-concept of college students with left-behind experiences:the mediation effect of perceived social support and hope perception
Objective This paper aims to explore the role of perceived social support and hope perception in the relationship between psychological distress and positive self-concept of college students with left-behind experiences,so as to provide theoretical basis to carry out positive psychological education for special college students.Methods For this purpose,a total of 687 questionnaires were issued to college students with left-behind experiences,in which the respondents were subjected to Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale,Perceived Social Support Scale,the Hope Perception Scale and Self-Concept Scale.Hierarchical linear regression analysis was used to examine the mediation effect of perceived social support and hope perception in those students.Results The total score of psychological distress of college students with left-behind experience was(23.02±9.22).There were statistically significant differences in the psychological distress among those students in different genders and left-behind duration(P<0.05).Psychological distress is negatively correlated with perceived social support(r=-0.556,P<0.01),hope perception(r=-0.218,P<0.01)and positive self-concept(r=-0.426,P<0.01),while perceived social support is positively correlated with hope perception(r= 0.470,P<0.01)and positive self-concept(r= 0.225,P<0.01).According to the regression analysis,the psychological distress(β=-0.167,P<0.01),perceived social support(β=0.461,P<0.01),and hope perception(β=0.352,P<0.01)of those students have certain predictive effect to positive self-concept.Perceived social support and hope perception had a partial mediating effect on psychological distress and positive self-concepts of college students with left-behind experiences.The median effect value was 0.25,accounting for 58%of the total effect.Conclusion Perceived social support and hope perception have a positive influence on the development of positive self-concepts,and have a positive buffering role on the adverse impact of psychological distress.
