“…CE was found to mediate the relationship between CR and depressive symptoms in typically developing African American youth but not in their European American counterparts, although the mediating role of competence was not supported in either group (Prelow et al, 2006). In another study conducted with typically developing youth, although social competence and CE fully mediated the relationship between school connectedness and depressive symptomatology in European American adolescents and partially mediated this relationship in African American adolescents, it was unclear how risk factors contributed to depression through these mediators as they were conceptualized as a composite measure (Ernestus et al, 2014).…”

“…However, the mediating effects of SPS and CE between CR and adolescent mental health have not been fully supported (e.g., Ernestus et al, 2014;Prelow et al, 2006). One study found that CE mediated the relations between caregiver-child relationship quality and stressors and concurrent externalizing and internalizing problems in parentally bereaved children (Wolchik et al, 2006).…”

“…Understanding divergent views of the self can allow us to better specify how the self mediates behavior (Santos et al, 2017). Some studies have provided partial support that developmental competence and the satisfaction of basic needs mediate the path from ecological risk to mental health in Western adolescents (Ernestus et al, 2014;Prelow et al, 2006). Social problem-solving (SPS) (D'Zurilla et al, 2004) and coping efficacy (CE) (Prelow et al, 2006) are the key elements of developmental competence and basic needs, respectively (Sandler, 2001).…”

This study aims to examine the mediating effects of social problem-solving (SPS) and coping efficacy (CE), the essential internal belief sets of self-system processes, on the relationship between cumulative risk (CR) and adolescent mental health. Chinese adolescents (grades 10-11; N = 675, female = 391) completed measures assessing CR, SPS, CE, anxiety and depression, and life satisfaction at two time points. To attribute the effects of CR on mental health to the modeled processes, we applied a short-term longitudinal design to collect data on CR, the mediators, and mental health. We also used multi-group confirmatory factor analysis and multi-group structural equation modeling to test for measurement and model invariance with respect to gender before we combined and analyzed subgroup data. The results indicated that gender did not influence the strength of the associations in the models for males and females. CR predicted Time 2 anxiety and depression and life satisfaction while controlling for Time 1 mental health. Furthermore, SPS and CE and CE alone mediated the relationship between CR and prospective life satisfaction. These findings suggest that severe adversity may lead to low life satisfaction and high anxiety and depression in adolescents. Severe adversity may also lead to low life satisfaction through compromised SPS and CE. The findings provide preliminary evidence for an intervention approach targeting SPS and CE to promote adolescents' life satisfaction.

“…However, the low selfrespect (i.e. even more negative attitude to oneself) and low sense of self-efficacy are closely related to depressive disorder, and can be used to predict symptoms of the depressive disorder [18] . Based on the above analysis, this paper indicates that SES can affect the level of depression through CSE, i.e.…”

At least 95 million people in China now suffer from depression, and cases of depression and suicide are increasingly common among younger people. This paper aims to study whether CSE is a mediating variable of SES influencing depression and the differences between men and women variables, and then provide practical reference to effectively prevent and relieve the depression. This paper uses the data of CGSS (Chinese General Social Survey) in 2017. Statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS 24.0 and used the PROCESS macro for SPSS (Model 4) to investigate the mediating effect of CSE in the relationship between SES and depression. According to the research results, SES is significantly related to the depression of the Chinese. CSE is a mediating variable between SES and depression and the male and female groups were basically consistent with the total group results.

“…On the other hand, poor school connectedness is related to high-risk manners ( Govender et al, 2013 ). Learners are bound to be successful when they feel associated with their school since that emotion brings about versatility, instructive motivation, enhanced school participation, and fewer interactive issues ( Ernestus et al, 2014 ). As declared by Davis (2006) , along with this structure, teenagers who take in a positive school climate and constructive associations with educators have higher grades, accomplishment test scores, scholarly self-efficacy, and school engagement.…”

A remarkable point in previous decades in every aspect of life is well-being which is also effective in academic settings, and it is consistent with positive psychology, in which one can recognize how to make everything pleasing. Moreover, grit is another noteworthy point in the process of learning, which is at the center of researchers’ attention in last years as a result of its long-term eminence. In addition, school connectedness is another important factor that was found to be positively related to students’ well-being. Therefore, the current review endeavors to emphasize the mediating role of these two constructs, grit and school connectedness on students’ well-being. Successively, some implications are proposed for educators, learners, teacher educators, and materials developers.
