“…Coping style of individuals can influence SWB experiences. Therefore, a positive coping style is conducive to improving SWB experiences, whereas a negative coping style will intensify setback experiences and thereby lower SWB ( 16 ). Moreover, coping style can relieve the relationship between perfectionism and risk of suicide among the youth ( 17 ).…”

Background: The global COVID-19 pandemic caused great impacts and influences to human psychology. As a result, youths who are kept at home for a long time easily develop irritability and problematic behaviors. However, relatively little attention has been paid to the relations among irritability, coping style, and subjective well-being of the youth. Methods: Overall, 1,033 youth respondents (aged 18–30 yr) from seven provinces in China were investigated in 2020 using the irritability, depression, and anxiety scale, coping style scale, and well-being index scale. Results: Among the dimensions of irritability of the youth, anxiety received the highest score, followed by introversion irritability, extroversion irritability, and depression. Irritability had significant regional differences. The total score of irritability among rural youth was significantly higher than that of urban youth (P<0.05). The irritability level of youths with parents’ emotional status was harmonious and good relations with family members and peers was far lower than those of youths who have poor relations between parents, family members, and peers (P<0.05). The irritability level of youths with a lower monthly household income was higher (P<0.05). Irritability of the youth had significantly negative correlations with positive response and SWB, and it had a significantly positive correlative with negative response. Coping style can mediate the relationship between irritability and SWB of the youth to some extent. Conclusion: Significant correlations exist among irritability, coping style, and SWB of the youth. Irritability can be used to predict SWB indirectly through positive response.

“…Such decreasing trends may be due to the high expectations ( Shoshani and Slone, 2013 ) and schoolwork pressure ( Cosma et al, 2020 ) during the middle school years in this highly formative era. The inconsistent findings with the stable pattern shown in mainland Chinese high school students ( Nie et al, 2019 ) may indicate that the developmental trajectories in life satisfaction during early adolescence and late adolescence are different (e.g., Chen, 2020 ).…”

The present three-wave longitudinal study examined the contributions of indigenous personality traits and parenting style to life satisfaction in Chinese adolescents. Seven hundred and ten junior high school students (Mage = 11.39, SDage = 0.53; 53.2% girls) were administered self-report measures of personality, parenting styles, and life satisfaction in Grade 6. Data on life satisfaction were collected again in Grades 7 and 8, respectively. Latent growth model analyses indicated that life satisfaction decreased over time. Regression analyses showed that the initial level of global life satisfaction was positively predicted by personality factors of dependability and interpersonal relatedness; the slope of global life satisfaction was positively predicted by personality factors of emotional stability whereas negatively predicted by interpersonal relatedness. The initial levels and slopes of different domains of life satisfaction were predicted by personality factors and parenting styles to different extents. Meanwhile, paternal and maternal parenting styles had different effects on adolescents’ life satisfaction. The study provided valuable information about the contributions of indigenous personality and both paternal and maternal parenting styles to psychological adjustment in the Chinese context. The implications of the findings concerning the associations among personality, parenting styles, and life satisfaction were discussed.

“…Due to the socioeconomic disadvantage of families in relative poverty, adolescents in such families are at risk of more stresses and challenges than those living in more supportive environments; for example, family financial hardship, repeated exposure to violence, low-quality family upbringing (e.g., emotional abuse and neglect), and interpersonal difficulties (e.g., school violence; Miller et al, 2002; Uink et al, 2018). Socioeconomic disadvantages in early life are associated with poorer mental health among children and adolescents, such as reduced life satisfaction and well-being (Browman et al, 2019; K.-M. Chen, 2020), and with worse physical health outcomes (E. Chen et al, 2010; Moor et al, 2019), which are more likely to lead to higher morbidity and all-cause mortality in the long term (Turrell et al, 2007).…”

This study aimed to examine the double-edged effect of social mobility belief on socioeconomically disadvantaged adolescents' mental and physical health and further explore whether intentional selfregulation is the common psychological mechanism of social mobility belief affecting physical and mental health. Method: A total of 469 adolescents (M age = 13.96 years, 49.3% boys) from two rural public schools in China were included in this study. Adolescents completed questionnaires measuring social mobility belief and mental health (life satisfaction, self-esteem, and depression). Physical health (allostatic load) was reflected by six indicators (resting diastolic and systolic blood pressure, body mass index, epinephrine, norepinephrine, and cortisol). Results: Social mobility belief was positively correlated with adolescents' life satisfaction and self-esteem but negatively correlated with depression. Intentional self-regulation mediated the relationships between social mobility belief and mental health. In addition, the results showed that intentional self-regulation mediated the relationship between social mobility belief and adolescents' physical health. Conclusions: Social mobility belief may be a "skin-deep" resilience resource positively related to mental health but negatively correlated with physical health through intentional self-regulation among socioeconomically disadvantaged adolescents. Public Significance StatementSocial mobility belief has a double-edged effect on socioeconomically disadvantaged adolescents' mental and physical health; that is, it is positively related to mental health through goal-directed self-regulation but negatively related to physical health. It is important to explore the factors that block or mitigate the adverse effects of social mobility beliefs on the health of disadvantaged adolescents in China and worldwide.
