Tested the role of self-esteem as a mediator of relationships between socio-environmental experiences and emotional/behavioral problems using a sample of 215 young adolescents (Grades 7-9). Socioenvironmental experiences were assessed using self-report questionnaire measures of social support and major and minor stressful events. Self-esteem was assessed using a self-report questionnaire, an interview, and a parent-report questionnaire. Emotional/behavioral problems were assessed using self-report, parent-report and teacher-report questionnaires. Utilizing structural equation modeling, the data were used to test a model in which self-esteem mediated the relationship between socioenvironmental experiences and emotional/behavioral problems. The hypothesized model provided a reasonably good fit to the data (normed fit index = .90). However, an alternative model which also allowed for direct effects of socioenvironmental experiences on emotional/behavioral problems produced a significant improvement in model fit. In this model, socio-environmental experiences had significant effects on emotional problems via both direct effects and indirect effects that indicated a mediating role for self-esteem. Only direct effects of socioenvironmental experiences were evident for behavioral problems.
以215名青少年（7至9年级）为样本，研究自尊作为社会环境经历与情绪/行为问题之间关系的中介作用。社会环境经历通过社会支持以及重大和轻微压力事件的自陈问卷测量来评估。自尊通过自陈问卷、访谈和家长报告问卷进行评估。情绪/行为问题通过自陈、家长报告和教师报告问卷进行评估。利用结构方程模型，这些数据被用于检验一个自尊介导社会环境经历与情绪/行为问题之间关系的模型。假设模型与数据拟合良好（规范拟合指数=0.90）。然而，一个也考虑社会环境经历对情绪/行为问题直接影响的替代模型在模型拟合上有显著改善。在这个模型中，社会环境经历通过直接影响和间接影响（表明自尊起中介作用）对情绪问题有显著影响。对于行为问题，仅社会环境经历的直接影响明显。
