“…Through various interpersonal relationships and multiple social comparisons, people learn who they are and gradually develop positive or negative views of themselves. Positive self-expansion (e.g., increasing one’s status, economic position, or affiliation; Beck and Haigh, 2014 ) and perception of competence and acceptance from others ( Lachowicz-Tabaczek and śniecińska, 2011 ) are suggested to be associated with increased self-esteem. In contrast, perceived chronic social adversity could lead to negative beliefs about the self.…”

In this paper, we attempt to predict and explain psychological maladjustment or difficulty. Specifically, we discuss the concept of perceived chronic social adversity, and we expect that such perceived chronic social adversity may potentially lead to chronic stress responses. Accordingly, we propose the symptomatic reactions of perceived chronic social adversity. We put forward a set of hypotheses regarding the relationships between perceived chronic social adversity and those chronic stress responses, and we further hypothesize a mediating role of individualized negative essentialism brought by perceived chronical social adversity. Resilience and individual differences in the ability to cope with perceived adversity are discussed. Future research and prevention need to pay more attention to effects of subjective personal experiences on psychological difficulty, focusing on the importance of exploring daily social experiences in improving cognitive construction processes and developing appropriate preventions.

“…According to theoretical work, social support is important in determining self-esteem [26]. Perception of acceptance from others is demonstrated to be associated with increased self-esteem [27]. A considerable amount of empirical research found that one's level of self-esteem may significantly be predicted by PSS [28,29].…”

With the development of society, people pay more attention to mental health. Meanwhile, depression is becoming a major psychological problem faced by Chinese youth. We examined the mediational roles of self-esteem in accounting for the relation between perceived chronic social adversity and depression and the relation between perceived social support and depression among Chinese college students. A total of 805 Chinese college students (65.6% females, mean age = 20.17 years) completed a multi-measure questionnaire. A cross-sectional correlational research design was used in this study. Obtained data were analyzed using correlational and mediation analysis by Hayes (PROCESS macro). Results of the correlational analysis indicate that perceived chronic social adversity was significantly positively related to depression, but perceived social support was found significantly negatively correlated with depression among Chinese college students. PROCESS macro was used to test the mediating role of self-esteem based on proposed mediation model. The results of mediation analysis revealed that: (1) perceived chronic social adversity positively related to depression, whereas perceived social support negatively related to depression, (2) self-esteem partially mediated the relation between perceived chronic social adversity and depression, and (3) self-esteem entirely mediated the relation between perceived social support and depression among Chinese college students. The results suggest that college students' depression can improve by positive cognition of social encounters via obtaining a high level of self-esteem. In addition, limitations and practical applications of the findings were discussed.

“…Cultural standards may include not only personal achievements but also moral principles, basic order, and harmony within the in-group. An individual achieves high selfesteem and a feeling of immortality when he or she fulfils cultural demands [6]. This includes the individual's perception of his nature and abilities, interactions with others and the environment, values related to experience and objects, his goals and desires.…”
