To examine life satisfaction as a moderator or mediator of accommodation category and loneliness for elementary and middle school students in rural areas so as to provide evidence for psychological health intervention among said students.
All participants were asked to complete an anonymous questionnaire battery which including an 18-item General Health Questionnaire, Children's Loneliness Scale and Multidimensional Students' Life Satisfaction.
The average score of loneliness scale (35.0 +/- 9.5) among boarding-school students was significantly higher than those students living at home (33.1 +/- 10.1) (P < 0.01). The average scores on school-satisfaction (33.5 +/- 6.3), friend-satisfaction (42.1 +/- 6.2) and self-satisfaction (32.4 +/- 5.0) of boarding-school students were significantly higher than those students living at home (35.9 +/- 6.6, 42.9 +/- 6.6, 32.9 +/- 5.3) (P < 0.05). The association between accommodation category and loneliness was fully mediated by school-satisfaction (the standardized coefficients of loneliness was reduced from 0.043 (P < 0.05) to 0.021 (P > 0.05) and partly mediated by self-satisfaction and friend-satisfaction. Data through Moderation analyses indicated that self-satisfaction, school-satisfaction and friend-satisfaction did not serve as moderators.
Accommodation category, life satisfaction seemed to be good predictors on loneliness among elementary and middle school students and the fully mediated effect of school-satisfaction between accommodation category and loneliness was significant, suggesting that intervention of loneliness should focus on these variables.
探讨生活满意度在农村中小学生住宿类型与孤独感之间所起的调节或中介作用，为农村中小学生心理健康干预提供依据。
所有参与者均需完成一套匿名问卷，包括一份18项的一般健康问卷、儿童孤独感量表和多维学生生活满意度量表。
寄宿制学生的孤独感量表平均得分（35.0±9.5）显著高于居家学生（33.1±10.1）（P<0.01）。寄宿制学生在学校满意度（33.5±6.3）、朋友满意度（42.1±6.2）和自我满意度（32.4±5.0）方面的平均得分显著高于居家学生（35.9±6.6、42.9±6.6、32.9±5.3）（P<0.05）。住宿类型与孤独感之间的关联完全由学校满意度介导（孤独感的标准化系数从0.043（P<0.05）降至0.021（P>0.05）），部分由自我满意度和朋友满意度介导。调节分析数据表明，自我满意度、学校满意度和朋友满意度并未起到调节作用。
住宿类型、生活满意度似乎是中小学生孤独感的良好预测指标，学校满意度在住宿类型与孤独感之间的完全中介效应显著，提示孤独感干预应聚焦于这些变量。
