“…Those who report more connections with their peers have better academic achievement and a stronger sense of school belonging [ 28 ]. Conversely, university students with high social isolation and anxiety have poorer academic performance and reduced individual wellbeing [ 88 ]. Students with lower levels of social involvement with peers and friends may experience a weaker sense of school belonging [ 89 ].…”

Background: University students with a vocational pathway face greater cultural, psychological, cognitive, and behavioral challenges during the transition process than their counterparts with an academic route. Method: This study examined the predictive effect of bicultural identity integration, self-esteem, academic resilience, and interaction anxiousness on school belonging using a quantitative approach with 326 Chinese vocational pathway university student participants. Result: The participants had high levels of cultural adaptability, self-esteem, academic resilience, and school belonging, but they also displayed moderate interaction anxiousness. Bicultural identity integration (B = 0.24; p < 0.001), self-esteem (B = 0.35; p < 0.001), and academic resilience (B = 0.25; p < 0.001) significantly positively predicted school belonging, while interaction anxiousness (B = −0.17; p < 0.01) negatively predicted school belonging. Conclusions: Bicultural identity integration, self-esteem, academic resilience, and interaction anxiousness were crucial determinants of school belonging among Chinese university students with vocational qualifications. Effective measures should be initiated to boost their feelings of being recognized, respected, and connected to the university community.

“…People with high inferiority feelings are afraid to interact with others for fear of rejection and tend to adopt an avoidant approach, which may exacerbate social anxiety ( Shim et al, 2013 ). Numerous researchers have also found that lower self-evaluation influences the development of social anxiety, and that lower self-evaluation is a major cause of inferiority feelings ( Lin and Fan, 2022 ). According to the conceptual study of inferiority complex and social anxiety, inferiority complex is an individual’s negative evaluation of self, and the negative feedback from the external environment can lead to social anxiety.…”

IntroductionThis study aimed to explore the relationship between feelings of inferiority and social anxiety in Chinese junior high school students. In addition, it examined the potential mediating effect of fear of negative evaluation in this relationship.MethodsA survey was administered to a sample of 734 Chinese junior high school students. The Feelings of Inadequacy Scale, Brief Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale, and Social Avoidance Distress Scale were used.ResultsFirst, there were significant positive correlations between all subscales for the inferiority feelings, social anxiety, and fear of negative evaluation. Furthermore, fear of negative evaluation mediated the predictive effects of four inferiority subscales (i.e., self-esteem, academic ability, appearance, and physical ability) for social anxiety. However, the total score for the sense of inferiority and social confidence subscale lacked this mediating effect.ConclusionThe inferiority feelings of self-esteem, academic ability, appearance, and physical ability may directly and indirectly predict social anxiety through fear of negative evaluation.

“…Self-esteem plays an important role in emotion and social adaptation. The research showed that self-esteem and loneliness were significantly negatively correlated with predictability (23,24). The social cognitive theory also suggested that individuals with low self-esteem engaged in certain behavioral and cognitive processes that hinder the development of social relationships, thereby increasing loneliness (25), which may in turn weaken self-esteem (26).…”

ObjectivesThis study aimed to explore the effect of subjective age on loneliness in old adults, and the mediating role of resilience and self-esteem in subjective age and loneliness.MethodsApproximately 450 old adults from Jiangxi, Hunan, Henan provinces completed the third edition of the Loneliness Scale (UCLA-LS III), Age Decade Scale (ADS), Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), and Self-Esteem Scale (SES).Results(1) Subjective age was significantly positively correlated with loneliness. (2) Resilience, self-esteem, and loneliness were significantly negatively correlated. (3) Subjective age affected loneliness through the mediating effects of resilience and self-esteem, respectively. (4) Resilience and self-esteem played a chain mediating role between subjective age and loneliness.ConclusionResilience and self-esteem can directly affect the loneliness of the old adults alone and can also affect the loneliness of the old adults through the chain mediating effect of resilience and self-esteem.
