This 4-year longitudinal study examined the perceived school performance, life satisfaction, and hopelessness of Chinese adolescents in Hong Kong. Over the period of the study, perceived school performance and life satisfaction decreased, whereas adolescent hopelessness increased. Consistent with our predictions, a positive relationship between perceived school performance and life satisfaction, a negative relationship between life satisfaction and hopelessness, and a negative relationship between perceived school performance and hopelessness were found. Structural equation modeling further showed that life satisfaction functioned as a mediator in the relationship between perceived school performance and hopelessness. The findings underscore the role of perceived school performance in adolescent well-being and suggest that promoting life satisfaction is a possible way of reducing adolescent hopelessness.
这项为期4年的纵向研究考察了中国香港青少年对学业成绩的认知、生活满意度和绝望感。在研究期间，青少年对学业成绩的认知和生活满意度下降，而绝望感增加。与我们的预测一致，研究发现青少年对学业成绩的认知与生活满意度之间呈正相关，生活满意度与绝望感之间呈负相关，对学业成绩的认知与绝望感之间呈负相关。结构方程模型进一步表明，生活满意度在青少年对学业成绩的认知与绝望感之间的关系中起中介作用。研究结果强调了青少年对学业成绩的认知在其幸福感中的作用，并表明提高生活满意度可能是减少青少年绝望感的一种方式。
