Abstract

The present study is designed to explore the relationship between material deprivation and children’s life satisfaction, paying particular attention to the mediating mechanisms of bullying victimization by peers and siblings and the moderating mechanisms of indulgent culture. A sample of 15,447 children are drawn from the Wave Three of Children’s Worlds: International Survey of Children’s Well-being in 14 countries. The results demonstrate that material deprivation negatively influences children’s life satisfaction. Furthermore, material deprivation simultaneously enhances children’s bullying victimization by peers and siblings, thereby reducing their life satisfaction. Moreover, the effects of material deprivation on bullying victimization by peers, bullying victimization by siblings and life satisfaction are all moderated by indulgent culture, that is, all of these associations are stronger for children who grow up in indulgent culture. This study adds to the current knowledge and provides practical implications for how to promote children’s life satisfaction.
