Abstract

Background: This study proposed a moderated mediation model to examine the mediating role of core self-evaluation in the relationship between cumulative family risk and depression among left-behind children, and whether this process was moderated by school climate.

Methods: A total of 415 rural left-behind children from 35 townships in Anhui Province (54.46% males; mean age = 12.53, SD = 2.27) were randomly conducted in June 2023 using convenience sampling. Data were processed and analyzed using SPSS 25.0 and PROCESS 3.3.

Results: After controlling for gender, age, grade, and left-behind type, cumulative family risk positively predicted depression in left-behind children (β = 0.18, p < 0.001). Core self-evaluation fully mediated the relationship between cumulative family risk and depression in left-behind children (indirect effect = 0.10, 95%CI = [0.06, 0.15]). Moreover, school climate moderated the relationship between cumulative family risk and core self-evaluation (the first half of the mediation pathway) (β =-0.13, p < 0.01). Specifically, as the school climate level increased, cumulative family risk became more predictive of core self-evaluation (B_low = - 0.001, p > 0.05; B_high = - 0.26, p < 0.001).

Conclusion: Creating a favourable family and school climate and improving core self-evaluation are beneficial to reduce depression in left behind children.

留守儿童的家庭累积风险与抑郁之间的关系：调节中介模型。

研究背景本研究提出调节中介模型，探讨核心自我评价在留守儿童家庭累积风险与抑郁关系中的中介作用，以及这一过程是否受到学校氛围的调节：采用方便抽样法，于2023年6月随机对安徽省35个乡镇的415名农村留守儿童（男性占54.46%；平均年龄=12.53，SD=2.27）进行了调查。数据采用 SPSS 25.0 和 PROCESS 3.3 进行处理和分析：在控制了性别、年龄、年级和留守类型后，累积家庭风险对留守儿童抑郁有正向预测作用（β = 0.18，p low = - 0.001，p > 0.05；Bhigh = - 0.26，p 结论：留守儿童的抑郁与家庭和学校环境有关：营造良好的家庭和学校氛围以及改善核心自我评价有利于减少留守儿童的抑郁情绪。
