“…Social support is necessary for situations when a person is facing difficulties. Therefore, when people receive social support, their self-esteem rises and they feel satisfied (Wang and Xie, 2020 ). In the case of the LB children, they desperately need social support because they are deprived of their parental care.…”

“…Moreover, teachers can assess the student's academic performance and provide reasonable suggestions which would help solve psychological problems and promote the mental wellbeing of students (Wang and Liu, 2021 ). Studies have shown that perceived social support is positively associated with the mental wellbeing of LB children because these children need attention and care from others (Wang and Xie, 2020 ). There is a pressing need to investigate the relationship between perceived social support and mental wellbeing; thus, this study aimed to analyze the perceived social support on the mental health of the LB children.…”

“…However, developing positive psychological factors would be beneficial for the LB children. In this regard, Wang and Xie ( 2020 ) investigated the impact of some positive psychological factors that would influence the mental wellbeing of the LB children. The result of the study showed that psychological resilience was found to be a positive indicator of the mental wellbeing of LB children.…”

Objective of this study is to investigate the impact of perceived social support on the self-esteem, mental wellbeing, and school readiness of left-behind (LB) children. It further aims at understanding the mediating role of psychological resilience between the relationships of perceived social support and self-esteem, mental wellbeing, and school readiness. For this purpose, population frame of the LB children between the ages of 8–12 years in Mainland China was taken. The sample size of 335 was taken to reach the findings through partial least square (PLS) structural equation modeling. The SmartPLS has been used to analyze the data. The results obtained in this study have shown that the perceived social support plays a very significant role in enhancing the mental wellbeing, self-esteem, and school readiness of the LB children. It has also been found that the perceived social support plays a positive role in the psychological resilience. Furthermore, it has also been found that the psychological resilience is an important predictor of self-esteem and school readiness. Further, the psychological resilience has proved to be significant mediator between the relationship of the perceived social support and self-esteem; and also between the relationship of the perceived social support and school readiness.

“… 27 Due to parental absence, left-behind children/adolescents may be unable to access the immediate emotional support and coping skills provided by parents to effectively cope with stressful situations (ie, perceived discrimination), leading to them becoming withdrawn and unconfident, which over time may lead to a series of behavioral and emotional problems. 6 , 27 , 28 …”

Purpose Although the risk effect of perceived discrimination on left-behind youth’s mental health (mainly emotional problems) has been demonstrated in prior studies, there is a lack of longitudinal studies examining the effect of perceived discrimination on behavioral problems, particularly in emerging adults with early left-behind experience. In addition, little is known about individual differences in terms of this association. In the present study, we draw on the social information processing model of aggression to examine the effect of perceived discrimination and mindfulness on cyber aggression. Methods We used two-wave longitudinal panel data involving 535 emerging adults with early left-behind experience in rural China (M age = 19.89 years; SD = 1.20; 57.2% female). To test the moderating role of mindfulness, hierarchical multiple regression and simple slope test analyses were performed. Results The results of linear regression analysis demonstrated that higher levels of perceived discrimination at T1 were significantly associated with higher cyber aggression at T2; the strength of this association was buffered by mindfulness over time. Conclusion These findings suggest that the facilitation of mindfulness training may be an effective strategy for reducing the risk of perceived discrimination leading to cyber aggression in emerging adults with early left-behind experience.

“…Some studies have shown that, given a lack of parental supervision, left-behind children are more likely to attempt to escape from reality by seeking a virtual world through the Internet compared with their peers [ 7 ], and they are also more vulnerable to PIU [ 8 ]. The rapid growth in the number of left-behind children in China, the Philippines, Ecuador, South Africa, and other countries or regions in the world has attracted increasing attention [ 9 ], and specifically, PIU among this group is arousing considerable concern [ 10 ]. Studies have indicated that left-behind children are more prone to PIU than other children [ 11 , 12 ].…”

The aim of this study was to determine how left-behind children’s perceived personal rejection and emotional intelligence impact on the relationship between their peer attachment and pathological Internet use in China. Using the cluster random sampling method, a total of 406 left-behind children (aging 12.76 ± 2.13) from six rural primary and secondary schools in mainland China were recruited for the study (202 males and 204 females). The results of the analysis indicated that peer attachment negatively predicted left-behind children’s pathological Internet use. Perceived personal rejection had a mediating effect on the relationship between peer attachment and pathological Internet use, whereas emotional intelligence had a moderating effect on the relationships between peer attachment and perceived personal rejection and between peer attachment and pathological Internet use among these children. Moreover, peer attachment had a greater negative impact on the perceived personal rejection and pathological Internet use of left-behind children with high emotional intelligence compared with those of students with low emotional intelligence. These findings reveal the need for more support and interventions aimed at strengthening peer attachment and emotional intelligence of left-behind primary and secondary children and reducing their perceptions of personal rejection, which, in turn, reduces their pathological Internet use.
