Abstract

This study set out to explore the mediating role of achievement motivation and the moderating role of self-esteem in the association between self-consciousness and grit of adolescents. Participants were adolescent students from a Chinese rural middle school (n = 422; female = 58.8%; mean age = 14.13 years; SD = 1.61 years). They completed the Self-Consciousness Scale (SCS), the Grit Scale, the Achievement Motivation Scale (AMS), and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES). The results showed that self-consciousness, achievement motivation, and self-esteem were significantly and positively related to grit. Further, self-consciousness was significantly associated with grit. Moderation-mediation modelling analysis results showed that achievement motivation significantly and indirectly mediated the relationship between self-consciousness and grit. The indirect effect of achievement motivation was significantly moderated by self-esteem, suggesting that with an increased level of self-esteem, self-consciousness effects on achievement motivation weakened. Both achievement motivation and self-esteem appeared to be mechanisms for increasing resilience in rural adolescent students.

农村青少年的自我意识和毅力：自尊调节和成就动机中介

本研究旨在探讨成就动机和自尊在青少年自我意识和毅力之间的中介作用。参与者是来自中国一所农村中学的青少年学生（n=422；女性=58.8%；平均年龄=14.13岁；SD=1.61岁）。他们完成了自我意识量表（SCS）、Grit量表、成就动机量表（AMS）和Rosenberg自尊量表（RSES）。结果表明，自我意识、成就动机和自尊与毅力呈显著正相关。此外，自我意识与毅力显著相关。适度中介模型分析结果表明，成就动机显著和间接地中介了自我意识和毅力之间的关系。自尊显著调节成就动机的间接效应，表明随着自尊水平的提高，自我意识对成就动机的影响减弱。成就动机和自尊似乎都是提高农村青少年学生恢复力的机制。
