Abstract:
This study investigated the role of social self-efficacy and self-esteem in the relationship between social support and life satisfaction. Participants included 448 Chinese adults with an age range of 22.32 3.46 years who completed the Multi-Dimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, the Scale of Perceived Social Self-Efficacy, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and the Satisfaction with Life Scale. The results are completely consistent with our research hypotheses. Structural equation modeling demonstrated that social self-efficacy and self-esteem can independently mediate the effect of social support on life satisfaction, consistent with the Self-Efficacy Theory and Social Comparison Theory. More importantly, the identified serial mediation model indicated that social support could influence life satisfaction through the chain mediating effect of “social self-efficacy-self-esteem” as the prediction of the Sociometer Theory. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the links between these factors and suggest that high social support may promote well-being from the cognitive and estimate perspectives.
本研究探讨了社会自我效能感和自尊在社会支持与生活满意度关系中的作用。年龄在22.32±3.46岁的448名中国成年被试均完成社会支持感多维度量表、社会自我效能感量表、斯滕伯格自尊量表和生活满意度量表的测量,研究结果与本研究的假设完全一致。结构方程模型表明,社会自我效能和自尊能够在社会支持对生活满意度的影响中起到独立中介的作用,与自我效能理论和社会比较理论一致。更重要的是,所确定的串联中介模型社会测量理论的预测,社会支持可以通过“社会自我效能-自尊”的链式中介作用来影响生活满意度。本研究有助于更深入地理解这些因素之间的联系,并从认知和评估的角度揭示了高水平的社会支持对幸福感的促进作用。
