Abstract

Background/Objectives: This study was conducted with the purpose of empirically verifying the structural relationship between several factors affecting the life satisfaction of Chinese migrant adolescents (CMAs) by applying Haase's Adolescent Resilience Model. To this end, it verified the structural relationship between variables that affect the life satisfaction of CMAs, such as their subjective health, parent-child relationships, peer relationships, hope, and resilience. Methods: An online survey was conducted, targeting middle and high school adolescents in Shandong Province, China. As a result, the data were collected from a total of 355 adolescents and were analyzed. To analyze the s tructural relationships between variables, some structural equation model analyses were conducted using SPSS 26.0 and AMOS 24.0. Results: The main results of this study are as follows. First, subjective health and parent-child relationships had a statistically significant indirect effect on resilience through sense of hope. Second, the path from peer relationships to hope and resilience was found to be statically significant, and the mediating effect of hope to resilience was found to be statistically significant. Third, the path from resilience to life satisfaction was shown to be statically significant. Conclusion/Implications: The applicability of Haase's Adolescent Resilience Model(ARM) was confirmed in a study on the life satisfaction of CMAs. It was verified that subjective health and social support(parent- peer relationship, peer relationship) had a significant impact on their life satisfaction through hope and resilience. In particular, it shows that CMAs' sense of hope affects life satisfaction through ego resilience. Therefore, various multifaceted efforts are needed to increase direct intervention that can increase resilience.
