Abstract

This study aimed to testify the compensatory model of psychological resilience in the development of psychological adjustment of Chinese migrant children and adolescents. Social support and academic stress were involved in the model to investigate the mediating role of psychological resilience. In this cross-sectional study, 411 participants from 5th to 7th grade completed self-report questionnaires measuring social support, academic stress, resilience, and psychological adjustment (defined as the composition of depression, self-esteem, and loneliness). Results found that social support compensated the negative impact of academic stress on psychological resilience. The effect of social support and academic stress accumulatively facilitated the development of resilience and further affected psychological adjustment. The results suggest the importance of enhancing resilience in the process of improving psychological well-being among Chinese migrant children and adolescents.
