Abstract

Background: This study was designed to investigate the mediation effects of social empowerment (SE) in the relationship between perceived social support (PSS) and life satisfaction (LS) in women self-help group members. Also, this research attempted to understand the moderating effect of decision making (DM) and external communication (EC) on the relationship between the constructs.

Methods: To achieve the above objective, the primary data were collected from the self-help group women members by using an existing scale. In this survey, 333 participants who are members of self-help group completed the questionnaire and considered for the study. The study is non-experimental and survey-based, with no interventions or manipulations involved. In line with ethical guidelines, we obtained informed consent directly from each respondent before their participation.

Conclusion: The path coefficient values, t-statistics and P-Values confirmed the positive relationship between PSS->LS; PSS->SE & SE->LS in women self-group members. PLS structural equation modelling estimated by the bootstrap method revealed that SE partially mediates the relationship between PSS & LS. With regard to the interaction effect, the slope analysis and f ² effect size confirmed the moderating effect of EC in the relationship between PSS -> LS & SE -> LS.

自助群体生活满意度的测量：感知社会支持与社会赋权的作用。

背景：本研究旨在探讨社会授权（SE）在女性自助团体成员感知社会支持（PSS）与生活满意度（LS）之间的中介作用。此外，本研究试图了解决策和外部沟通对构念之间关系的调节作用。方法：为达到上述目的，采用现有量表对自助小组女性成员进行初步资料收集。在本次调查中，有333名自助小组成员完成了问卷调查，并考虑进行研究。该研究是非实验和基于调查的，不涉及干预或操纵。根据伦理准则，我们在每位受访者参与之前直接获得了他们的知情同意。结论：通径系数值、t统计量和p值均证实PSS->LS呈正相关；女性自组成员PSS->SE和SE->LS。由自举法估计的PLS结构方程模型表明，SE在PSS和LS之间的关系中起部分中介作用。在交互效应方面，斜率分析和f 2效应量证实了EC在PSS -> LS和SE -> LS之间的调节作用。

F1000Research is a scholarly publication platform set up for the scientific, scholarly and medical research community; each article has at least one author who is a qualified researcher, scholar or clinician actively working in their speciality and who has made a key contribution to the article. Articles must be original (not duplications). All research is suitable irrespective of the perceived level of interest or novelty; we welcome confirmatory and negative results, as well as null studies. F1000Research publishes different type of research, including clinical trials, systematic reviews, software tools, method articles, and many others. Reviews and Opinion articles providing a balanced and comprehensive overview of the latest discoveries in a particular field, or presenting a personal perspective on recent developments, are also welcome.
