“…On the other hand, our analysis would agree with Johnson's (2016) bi-dimensional framework, showing how life satisfaction mediated the link cybervictimization-suicidal ideation over time among adolescents. These results represent a significant advance in the knowledge of previous studies on the relationship between suffering negative situations (e.g., cybervictimization), and experiencing suicidal ideation (Chang et al, 2019;Yang et al, 2021b), as they provide prospective data on the mechanisms underlying in this link. On the one hand, these results suggest that adolescents' levels of life satisfaction are negatively affected 4 months later after having suffered aggressive behaviours through technology devices.…”

“…Higher levels of life satisfaction are related to more familial and community support, psychological well-being and quality of life (e.g., more positive emotions and less depression, sadness and loneliness) (Freire and Ferreira, 2018; Varela et al, 2019). Moreover, higher levels of life satisfaction predict a lesser frequency of suicidal ideation (Chang et al, 2019; Yang et al, 2021b). Specifically, recent findings suggest that the level of life satisfaction is one of the variables that may provide a better coping and help to understand the relationship between suffering negative experiences (e.g., cybervictimization) and reporting suicidal ideation in students (Chang et al, 2019; Yang et al, 2021b).…”

Previous research reports that cybervictims are more likely to experience suicidal ideations. Gratitude and life satisfaction have shown to predict suicide risk, but they have rarely been explored in the cyberbullying context. Hence, this study examined the roles of gratitude and life satisfaction in suicide risk in cyberbullying situations. An initial sample of 858 adolescents participated in a prospective study, completing questionnaires assessing gratitude, life satisfaction, cyberbullying experiences and suicidal ideation. Results showed that low levels of gratitude and life satisfaction influence suicidal ideation in cybervictimized adolescents. Limitations and implications of this study are discussed.

“…Quite a few suicide theories (10)(11)(12) include environmental factors as important antecedent variables of suicidal ideation. Previous studies found that negative life events are important antecedents of depression, despair, suicidal ideation, and even suicidal behavior (13)(14)(15)(16). Based on the theories and previous studies, we hypothesized that the combination of physical and mental stress caused by the pandemic (such as worrying about the risk of infection of oneself or the surrounding relatives) and other stressful events may exacerbate suicidal ideation in students.…”

IntroductionThe study aimed to investigate the impact and mechanism of negative life events on college students' suicidal ideation during the COVID-19 pandemic and the buffering effect of hope under the background of normalization of pandemic.MethodsA total of 5211 participants took part in this study. Self-reported negative life events, rumination, hope and suicide ideation were measured using a range of questions and scales. Our research demonstrated that the incidence of suicidal ideation among college freshmen in the past week was higher during the COVID-19 pandemic than that before the pandemic. In this study, conditional process model 15 was used to verify the hypothetical model of rumination as a potential mediator and hope as a moderator.ResultsThe hypothesized moderated mediation model was verified significant (β = -0.047, 95% CI = [-0.061, -0.035]), and hope was found to moderate the direct effect of negative life events on suicidal ideation (β = -0.039, t = -2.937, 95% CI = [-0.065, -0.013]) as well as the indirect effect of through the mediator rumination (β = -0.134, t = -10.850, 95% CI = [-0.158, -0.110]).DiscussionWe found that rumination partially mediated the effect of negative life events on suicidal ideation, and hope buffered the direct and indirect effect of negative life events on suicidal ideation. The implications of the findings for clinical interventions are discussed, including the importance of hope arousal as a protective factor and rumination as a cognitive mechanism for emotion regulation under the background of normalization of pandemic.

“…It has been shown to be positively related to many personal psychological, behavioral, interpersonal, and social outcomes (Proctor et al, 2009 ). It can mediate the association of adverse life events with suicidal ideation as well (Yang et al, 2020 ), and improving individuals’ life satisfaction helps reduce the risks of mental disorder (Chen et al, 2017 ). Therefore, identifying its contributing factors has long been concerned by scholars.…”

How different online self-presentations relate to life satisfaction differently in college students: The role of positive online feedback and self-esteem

et al. 2022

In the Internet age, some online factors, such as online self-presentation, related to life satisfaction have received much attention. However, it is unclear whether and how different strategies of online self-presentation are linked to an individual’s life satisfaction differently. Accordingly, the present study examined the possible different relationships between different online self-presentations and life satisfaction with a sample of 460 Chinese college students. Using a series of questionnaires, a moderated mediation model was built in which positive online feedback was a mediator and self-esteem was a moderator. The results indicated that: (1) positive self-presentation was negatively associated with college students’ life satisfaction, whereas honest self-presentation was positively related to it; (2) positive online feedback was a significant mediator in such relationships; (3) the mediation process was moderated by self-esteem. Specifically, positive self-presentation was negatively related to positive online feedback only for high self-esteem college students, but negatively associated with life satisfaction only for low self-esteem ones. By contrast, honest self-presentation was positively associated with positive online feedback despite the level of self-esteem, but positively linked with life satisfaction only for those with low self-esteem. The findings suggest that honest rather than positive online self-presentation should be conducive to college students’ life satisfaction, particularly for those with low self-esteem. The implications were discussed.
