标题:Exploring Pathways from Mothers` Beliefs to Children`s Subjective Well-Being: The Mediating Effects of Children`s Private After-School Education and Stress Levels
摘要:This study explored pathways from mothers’ beliefs to children’s subjective well-being through children’s private after-school activities and stress levels. A sample of 230 6th grade elementary school students (125 boys and 105 girls) in Seoul completed questionnaires on children’s stress and subjective well-being. Their mothers responded to questionnaires on mothers’ beliefs and children’s private after-school activities. Data were analyzed by means of Pearson’s correlation coefficients and multiple regression analyses. Our results demonstrated that mothers’ beliefs indirectly influenced children's subjective well-being through both children’s private after-school activities and stress levels. Neither children’s private after-school activities nor children’s stress mediated between mothers’ beliefs and children’s subjective well-being. Mothers' beliefs also had a direct effect on children’s subjective well-being. Significantly,both mothers’ beliefs and children’s stress played crucial roles in improving.
