“…A study by Fang (2013) found that the shame of LBC significantly positively predicted their SA. In general, adolescents with SA will be less active or proactive in interpersonal interactions, will minimize their willingness to communicate and cooperate with others, will be reluctant to ask for help when they have problems, and will experience more loneliness and depression ( Hamilton et al, 2016 ; Li et al, 2020 ; Wang and Yao, 2020 ; Chiu et al, 2021 ). This directly affects their subjective perception of their quality of life.…”

The issue of left-behind children has become a key focus in China. In this study, we investigate the mediating role of social support between social anxiety and the subjective quality of life among left-behind children in China (N = 379, Mage = 13.65). A total of 710 junior high school students were recruited using clustering random sampling from five middle schools in China and investigated using the Social Anxiety Scale for Children, Social Support Rating Scale for Adolescents, and Inventory of Subjective Life Quality. The results show that social anxiety is negatively associated with social support and subjective quality of life, and social support is positively correlated with subjective quality of life. In addition, social support partially mediates the relationship between social anxiety and subjective quality of life. In conclusion, these findings provide new insights to improve the subjective quality of life of left-behind children. The focus should be on alleviating social anxiety and increasing social support in order to help left-behind children improve their subjective quality of life.

“…That is, junior middle school students are more likely to have suicidal ideation with continuously accumulating negative emotions (Huang et al, 2021). However, junior middle school students with high hope level are more likely to attribute their failure to factors other than their personal abilities, such as improper strategies and insufficient efforts (M. Li et al, 2020).…”

Suicidal ideation is a prominent public health problem among junior middle school students. Previous researchers have explored the influence of parenting style on adolescents' suicidal ideation, but few researchers distinguished the influence of positive and negative parenting styles. The mediating effect of negative emotions between negative parenting styles and suicidal ideation and the moderating effect of hope among Chinese junior middle school students were focused on in this study. 877 junior middle school students in Hunan, Anhui, and Jiangxi provinces in China were investigated with the simplified Parenting Style Questionnaire, Positive and Negative Affect Schedule, Children's Hope Scale, and Self‐rating Idea of Suicide Scale. The theoretical models were tested through the PROCESS macro for SPSS. The results showed that: (1) Negative parenting styles had positive effects on suicidal ideation. (2) Negative emotions mediated the relationship between negative parenting styles and suicidal ideation. (3) Hope moderated the relationship between negative emotions and suicidal ideation. This study implies that we could start by improving adolescents' negative parenting styles and raising their level of hope to prevent and intervene in adolescents' suicidal ideation.

The number of “left-behind children” in China's rural areas is over 60 million, of which 57.20% of parents are single parents while 42.80% of both parents are away at the same time [ 2 ]. Huaihua City is located in the transition zone between the subtropical Sichuan-Exiang-Guizhou climate zone and the Yangtze River climate zone in the western part of Hunan Province, China.…”
