The Impact of School Belonging to Subjective Social Status of Middle School Students: Mediating Effect Base on Mental Health

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between school belonging and subjective social status of middle school students, and whether mental health plays an intermediary role between them. Taking 484 middle school students as subjects, they completed the school belonging scale, subjective social status scale and general health questionnaire. The results show that: (1) There is a significant positive correlation between school belonging, mental health and subjective social status of middle school students. (2) Middle school students’ sense of school belonging can positively predict their subjective social status, and can also indirectly influence their subjective social status through mental health, which plays an intermediary role between school belonging and subjective social status.
