The association between family economic hardship and adolescent adjustment outcomes, including sleep quality, is well-established. Few studies, however, have examined the mediating and moderating mechanisms underlying the relation between family economic hardship and adolescents' sleep quality. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of family economic hardship on Chinese adolescents' sleep quality, as well as the role of perceived economic discrimination as a mediator and the role of coping strategy as a moderator. Survey data from a cross-sectional sample of 997 Chinese adolescents (45% male, mean age = 15.04 years) were analyzed using path analysis in Mplus 7.0. The results of this study indicated that family economic hardship was significantly associated with adolescents' sleep quality. This association was mediated by adolescents' perceived economic discrimination. In addition, adolescents' coping strategy significantly moderated the path from perceived economic discrimination to sleep quality, with the "shift" coping strategy as a protective factor. The present study contributes to our understanding of key mechanisms underlying the association between family economic hardship and adolescent sleep quality and highlights the importance of improving sleep quality for adolescents exposed to economic hardship.
家庭经济困难与青少年的适应结果（包括睡眠质量）之间的关联已得到充分证实。然而，很少有研究探讨家庭经济困难与青少年睡眠质量之间关系的中介和调节机制。本研究的目的是调查家庭经济困难对中国青少年睡眠质量的影响，以及感知到的经济歧视作为中介的作用和应对策略作为调节因素的作用。使用Mplus 7.0中的路径分析对来自997名中国青少年（45%为男性，平均年龄 = 15.04岁）的横断面样本的调查数据进行了分析。本研究结果表明，家庭经济困难与青少年的睡眠质量显著相关。这种关联由青少年感知到的经济歧视介导。此外，青少年的应对策略显著调节了从感知到的经济歧视到睡眠质量的路径，其中“转移”应对策略是一个保护因素。本研究有助于我们理解家庭经济困难与青少年睡眠质量之间关联的关键机制，并强调了改善经济困难青少年睡眠质量的重要性。
