学业水平与心理幸福感关系研究：人生意义感的中介作用

A Study on the Relationship between Academic Performance and Psychological Well-Being: The Mediating Role of Meaning in Life

摘要: 本研究旨在探讨重点高中高一新生的学业水平与其心理幸福感的关系，并重点检验人生意义感在其中的中介作用，以揭示学业成就影响幸福感的内在机制。采用问卷调查法，对珠三角某市重点中学200名高一新生施测生活满意度量表、心盛幸福量表和人生意义量表调查。收集其人口学信息及学业水平(年级百分位排名)信息，采用相关性分析、方差分析及Process插件进行中介效应检验。结果显示：(1) 学业水平与生活满意度、心盛水平及拥有意义感均呈显著正相关，与寻求意义感相关不显著；(2) 方差分析表明，学业水平前20%组学生的各项幸福感得分均显著高于后20%组；(3) 中介效应分析发现，拥有意义感在学业水平与生活满意度之间起部分中介作用。研究发现：学业水平不仅直接预测学生的生活满意度，还通过提升其人生意义感产生间接促进作用。研究结果表明，对于重点高中新生，在关注学业发展的同时，着力培养其人生目标感和意义感，是提升其整体心理幸福感的重要途径。

Abstract: This study aims to explore the relationship between academic performance and psychological well-being among first-year students in a prestigious high school, with a specific focus on examining the mediating role of meaning in life, so as to reveal the internal mechanism through which academic achievement influences well-being. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 200 first-year students from a key high school in a Pearl River Delta city, using the Satisfaction with Life Scale, Flourishing Scale, and Meaning in Life Questionnaire. Demographic information and academic performance data (based on percentile rank within the grade) were collected. Correlation analysis, ANOVA, and the Process plug-in were employed to test the mediating effect. The results showed that: (1) Academic performance was significantly positively correlated with life satisfaction, flourishing, and the presence of meaning, but not significantly correlated with the search for meaning; (2) ANOVA indicated that students in the top 20% of academic performance scored significantly higher on all well-being measures compared to those in the bottom 20%; (3) Mediation analysis revealed that the presence of meaning partially mediated the relationship between academic performance and life satisfaction. The study concludes that academic performance not only directly predicts students’ life satisfaction but also indirectly promotes it by enhancing their sense of meaning in life. These findings suggest that for students in competitive high school environments, fostering a sense of purpose and meaning in life is an important pathway to enhancing their overall psychological well-being, alongside supporting their academic development.
