In-Group Identification and Hearing-Impaired Adolescents' Subjective Well-Being: The Mediating Role of Hearing-Impaired Peer Support

doi:10.12139/j.1672-0628.2023.02.017

Abstract

Abstract: This study tested the association between different dimensions of in-group identification (satisfaction, solidarity, centrality) and subjective well-being among hearing-impaired adolescents, and the mediating effect of hearing-impaired peer support on this association. Questionnaires on subjective well-being, in-group identification, hearing-impaired peer support were completed by 366 hearing-impaired students (Grade 10~12) from special schools in Sichuan Province. The results showed that: 1) there were significant positive correlations among three dimensions of in-group identification (satisfaction, solidarity, centrality), subjective well-being, and hearing-impaired peer support; 2) hearing-impaired peer support only partially mediated the relationship between satisfaction and subjective well-being.

Key words: hearing-impaired adolescents, subjective well-being, in-group identification, social support

摘要： 采用内群体认同问卷、主观幸福感问卷和听障朋友支持问卷对366名特殊教育学校的听障青少年(10～12年级)进行问卷调查，探讨听障青少年群体认同中的不同维度(满意度、团结性和中心性)与主观幸福感的关系，以及听障朋友支持在其中的中介作用。结果发现：(1)群体认同的满意度、团结性、中心性与主观幸福感、听障朋友支持两两之间呈显著正相关；(2)听障朋友支持仅在群体满意度与主观幸福感间起部分中介作用。
