“…This finding is basically consistent with Mohammadzadeh 's research ( 44 ), that is, self-esteem can strengthen their adaptability to problems and improve their adaptability to the external environment, Therefore, it is one of the key factors of personal success. Relevant studies also pointed out that ( 3 , 45 ), people with high self-esteem have self-confidence and like themselves, feel that they are valuable and capable, are willing to take risks and are not afraid of failure, will make persistent efforts when they encounter difficulties, will not worry that others do not like themselves, can treat and accept others kindly, and are willing to help and praise others, Be able to establish good interpersonal relationships with others. However, from the perspective of correlation, there is a significant negative correlation between social support behavior and academic ability.…”

“…This finding can be used in the weight control intervention plan for adolescents, because a good weight control plan can achieve twice the result with half the effort if it can improve its physiological value and physical self-esteem at the same time, in addition to combining a balanced diet and regular exercise. Schwager et al ( 3 ) conducted an intervention study on weight control of adolescent overweight girls and found that overweight girls have low self-esteem and 80% have depression tendency. Through diet cognition and exercise courses, they not only reduce weight, but also improve self-esteem.…”

ObjectiveTo explore the relationships between multidimensional self-esteems and health behaviors among adolescents by demographic background factors, so as to provide an important reference for the intervention of health promotion behavior and self-esteem education in the future.MethodsTaking adolescents in Chongqing as the object, this paper investigates the students in 24 primary and secondary schools (half of health promotion schools and half of non-promotion schools) by means of Stratified random sampling, and Using SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 19.0 statistical analysis software to process the collected data.Results1) gender and age significantly affected adolescents' self-esteem and health promotion behavior, which showed that boys's perception of self-esteem was lower than that of girls, while girls were more likely to implement health promotion behavior than boys; 2) Children from two parent families or families with higher parental education are more able to implement health promotion behavior and enjoy higher self-esteem, while family economic status has no effect on adolescents' self-esteem and health promotion behavior; 3) Compared with students in ordinary schools, adolescents in health promotion schools (HPS) have higher self-esteem and can implement health promotion behavior more; 4) The higher the self-esteem of adolescents, the better their health promotion behavior; The higher the sense of interpersonal ability, the more able to implement social support behavior; The higher the sense of physical ability and physiological value, the more able to implement sports behavior; The higher the sense of academic ability, the more able to implement nutritional behavior; The higher the external recognition and physiological value, the better the performance of nutritional behavior and stress management; The higher the internal evaluation, the more able to implement health responsibility and exercise behavior.ConclusionSocio-economic background can indeed have a direct or indirect impact on adolescent health promotion behavior, and multidimensional self-esteem can explain about 70% of the variation of health promotion behavior, which seems to suggest that improving adolescent self-esteem is the focus of health promotion and health education in the future.

“…In addition, some scholars have used the social integration theory and the attachment theory to discuss the pathways from social integration to health, including behavioral pathways, psychological pathways, and physiological pathways ( Berkman et al, 2000 ), which offer theoretical possibilities for the mediation of social mentality between social integration and health. At present, the psychological pathways that social integration indirectly affects health through individual psychological factors, such as self-esteem and sense of belonging, have been verified extensively ( Schwager et al, 2020 ; Chen et al, 2020b ). A small body of research has discussed the specific dimensions of social mentality, such as social trust and subjective wellbeing, as mediating factors between social integration and health ( Steel et al, 2018 ; Zhang et al, 2021 ).…”

Social Integration and Health Among Young Migrants in China: Mediated by Social Mentality and Moderated by Gender

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Population mobility has been one of the most basic social characteristics of China’s reform and opening up for more than 40 years. As the main labor force in Chinese cities, young migrants have made major contributions toward China’s economic miracle as the country has experienced rapid industrialization and urbanization. However, frequent mobility has caused an imbalanced social mentality in young migrants and often leads to issues with social integration, which has made this group more vulnerable with respect to their health. This study used the 2013 and 2015 Chinese General Social Survey (CGSS) data of 1,007 young migrants to investigate social mentality mediating the linkage between social integration and health among young migrants. Additionally, to probe the moderating role of gender, multi-group structural equation modeling was applied to test if the pathways in the mediation model differed between young male and female migrants in a significant way. The results suggested that after controlling for the influence of age, marital status, education, and personal annual income, social integration positively impacted the health of young migrants in a significant way; social mentality mediated the action of social integration on this group’s health; and with respect to gender difference, on the three paths of social integration affecting health, social integration affecting social mentality, and social mentality affecting health, young male migrants were more affected than young female migrants. The findings of this study could help improve gender-specific policies on the health of the floating population and offer important theoretical reference and practical suggestions for future research.

Methodisch haben diese Studien jedoch aufgrund der selektiven Stichproben von Schülerinnen und Schülern eine eingeschränkte Aussagekraft.…”

Zusammenfassung Einleitung Soziale Teilhabe ist ein vielseitiges Konstrukt, das bereits aus rechtlichen, ethischen, sozialpsychologischen und politischen Blickwinkeln als wichtige Komponente der Selbst- und Fremdbewertung einer Person als wertvolles Mitglied einer Gesellschaft betrachtet wurde. So zeigten sozialpsychologische Studien vielfach die Bedeutung des Zugehörigkeitsgefühls als zentrale innerpsychische Komponente sozialer Teilhabe sowohl für den personalen als auch den sozialen Selbstwert. Aus medizinpsychologischer Sicht ist der Zusammenhang von globalem Selbstwert und Selbstwirksamkeit mit Gesundheit gut belegt. Offen ist jedoch, ob soziale Teilhabe direkt mit psychischem und körperlichem Wohlbefinden in Zusammenhang steht oder ob dieser Zusammenhang über den globalen Selbstwert vermittelt wird. Material und Methoden Auf der Grundlage einer deutschlandweiten Repräsentativbefragung (N=2.531; Alter 14–93, M=48,58; 55,4% Frauen) wurden mit standardisierten Messinstrumenten die Variablen soziale Teilhabe (KsT-5), globaler Selbstwert (SISE) sowie körperliche und psychische Gesundheit (EQ5D) erfasst und in einem Mediationsmodell in Beziehung gesetzt. Ergebnisse Es zeigten sich erwartungsgemäß signifikant positive Zusammenhänge zwischen sozialer Teilhabe, globalem Selbstwert sowie körperlicher und psychischer Gesundheit mit Effektstärken im mittleren Bereich. Der globale Selbstwert mediiert den Zusammenhang zwischen sozialer Teilhabe und Gesundheit jedoch nur partiell, das heißt, es zeigte sich auch ein direkter signifikanter Zusammenhang zwischen sozialer Teilhabe mit Gesundheit. Diskussion Die Ergebnisse unterstreichen die unmittelbare Relevanz sozialer Teilhabe für die körperliche und psychische Gesundheit. Dies eröffnet eine bislang noch kaum genutzte Perspektive für die Gesundheitsförderung im Zusammenspiel mit gesellschaftspolitischen Herausforderungen bei den Themen Integration, Inklusion und Zugehörigkeitsgefühl.
