Abstract

This study focused on identifying adolescent learners’ social support profiles based on their self-reports regarding three sources of social support (parental, teacher, and close friend support) and associations of such profiles with their well-being. A biographical questionnaire, the Social Support Scale for Children, and the Mental Health Continuum – Short Form were administered to 770 Grades 10 and 11 learners from previously disadvantaged schools in South Africa. Five social support profiles were identified using latent profile analyses of parental, teacher, and close friend support: weakly supported, adult-supported, peer-supported, moderately supported, and integrated support. Social support profiles were associated with well-being. Flourishing, the most desirable well-being outcome, was associated with the integrated support profile (high parent, teacher, and close friend support). In contrast, the lowest level of well-being was observed in the weakly supported profile (low parent, teacher, and close friend support). The results confirmed that support from parents, teachers, and close friends was vital for adolescent learners’ well-being.

青少年学生的社会支持和幸福感：潜在特征分析

本研究的重点是根据青少年学生对三种社会支持来源（父母、老师和亲密朋友的支持）的自我报告，确定他们的社会支持状况，以及这些状况与他们的幸福感之间的联系。研究人员对来自南非老牌弱势学校的 770 名十年级和十一年级学生进行了个人履历问卷调查、儿童社会支持量表和心理健康连续性--简表。通过对父母、老师和亲密朋友的支持进行潜在特征分析，确定了五种社会支持特征：弱支持、成人支持、同伴支持、中度支持和综合支持。社会支持特征与幸福感相关。最理想的幸福结果 "富足 "与综合支持状况（父母、教师和亲密朋友的高支持）相关。相反，在支持薄弱的情况下（父母、教师和亲密朋友的支持较少），幸福感水平最低。结果证实，家长、教师和密友的支持对青少年学生的幸福感至关重要。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
