“…We tested the normality of the five constructs: college satisfaction, sense of achievement, student happiness, emotion regulation, and sense of belonging. Skewness and kurtosis coefficients could provide a powerful scheme for assessing normality against a wide variety of alternative distributions [48]. The current study's skewness and kurtosis values range from −0.516 to −0.266 and from 0.423 to 1.222, respectively, and the values are in the ranges between |3| and |8|.…”

Sense of belonging constitutes a critical component of college students’ retention and academic achievement, especially in disadvantaged higher education institutions such as private colleges in China. Using nationwide survey data (n = 3816) from Chinese private colleges, this study explores how college satisfaction, sense of achievement, and student happiness contribute to freshmen’ sense of belonging. Structural equation modeling analyses have identified the significant positive associations between freshmen’s emotion regulation and sense of belonging. In particular, emotion regulation plays a mediating role in the relations between college satisfaction, sense of achievement, student happiness, and the sense of belonging. Therefore, private colleges should design and implement orientation programs to improve freshmen’s learning experience, especially college satisfaction and student happiness, to enhance their sense of belonging.
