“…Finding meaning in life is a critical dilemma for these students undergoing great mental and behavioral development. Students who were retaking the college entrance examination experienced a positive life change and found greater meaning in university life [ 77 ]. However, those with less impulse control and meaning in life may be more susceptible to problematic behavior.…”

Internet addiction (IA) has increasingly been recognized as a serious psychological malady among college students. Impulsivity has been shown to be associated to addictive behaviors, also to IA, and that the purpose of the study is to investigate whether or not there are variables modulating the relation between impulsivity and IA. “Meaning in life” is regarded as a desirable attribute, with positive mental health outcomes. “Self-esteem” is often regarded as an important component of psychological health which has relation to IA. Therefore, we examined meaning in life and self-esteem’s possible effects in this relationship. A total of 1068 Chinese college students ranging in age from 18 to 25 years were recruited for this cross-sectional survey study. Correlations and multivariate regressions were used to calculate the possible mediation and moderation relationship among the variables of meaning in life, self-esteem, impulsivity, and IA. In the analyses that we conducted, IA was shown to be prevalent among Chinese university students. The relationship between impulsivity and IA was partially mediated by meaning in life, and the relationship between meaning in life and IA was moderated by self-esteem. Our findings demonstrate that meaning in life and self-esteem can be useful buffers to IA for highly impulsive individuals. Further randomized trials to confirm these results are needed.

“…Individuals with high self-esteem have strong emotion control ability and adaptability. They are enthusiastic and generous in their life, and often greet new things with a positive attitude (Baumeister et al, 2003), which have a positive influence towards their cognition, motivation, emotions and social behavior, making individuals more willing to pursue the meaning of real life (Lee & Jung, 2014). Previous studies have shown that there is a significant positive correlation between self-esteem and core self-evaluations (Wang, Liu, & Jackson, 2016), to be specific, the higher the self-esteem level, the more positive the self-esteem and self-confidence they have, and the more reasonable self-identification and positive self-evaluation they own.…”

Objective: To explore the mediating effects of self-esteem and academic self-efficacy on gratitude and core self-evaluations in rural junior middle school students. Methods: The Gratitude Scale, Self-esteem Scale, Academic Self-Efficacy Scale and Core Self-Evaluations Scale were used to conduct a questionnaire survey among 923 rural junior middle school students. The bias-corrected percentile Bootstrap method was conducted to test the chain mediating role of self-esteem and academic self-efficacy between rural junior middle school students' gratitude and core self-evaluations. Results: Correlation analysis showed significantly positive correlations between gratitude, self-esteem, academic self-efficacy and core self-evaluations (r = 0.30-0.56, P < 0.01); the mediation model indicated that gratitude had a significant direct effect on core self-evaluation, with an effect value of 0.094 and accounting for 21.91%. The mediating role of self-esteem and academic self-efficacy between gratitude and core self-evaluations was significant, with effect values of 0.225 and 0.027, accounting for 52.45% and 6.29%, and the chain mediating role of self-esteem and academic self-efficacy in rural junior middle school students' gratitude and core self-evaluations was also significant, with an effect value of 0.083 and accounting for 19.35%. Conclusion: Gratitude not only directly influences the core self-evaluations of rural junior middle school students, but also through the indirect path of self-esteem and academic self-efficacy, as well as the chain mediating path between these two variables.
