Abstract
Recent research has focused on school-related factors on subjective well-being among children. This study aimed to examine the multiple mediation effect of school violence exposure and school satisfaction between school climate and children’s subjective well-being. A sample of 93,344 children (Mage = 10.95, 49.3% were boys) from 35 countries or regions completed measures. This study employed a serial multiple mediation model. Results indicated that school climate was positively associated with children’s subjective well-being. Additionally, a higher level of school climate was associated with a lower level of school violence exposure, which in turn, was associated with a higher level of school satisfaction, thereby contributing to a higher level of subjective well-being. Limitations, theoretical, and practical implications of the study were discussed.
期刊介绍：
The aim of this journal is to publish conceptual, methodological and empirical papers dealing with quality-of-life studies in the applied areas of the natural and social sciences. As the official journal of the ISQOLS, it is designed to attract papers that have direct implications for, or impact on practical applications of research on the quality-of-life. We welcome papers crafted from interdisciplinary, inter-professional and international perspectives. This research should guide decision making in a variety of professions, industries, nonprofit, and government sectors, including healthcare, travel and tourism, marketing, corporate management, community planning, social work, public administration, and human resource management. The goal is to help decision makers apply performance measures and outcome assessment techniques based on concepts such as well-being, human satisfaction, human development, happiness, wellness and quality-of-life.
