Modelling life satisfaction of Chinese adolescents in Hong Kong

The influence of self-concept and relationship on life satisfaction of adolescents was examined in 1099 Hong Kong Chinese junior high school children. Based on past research, it was hypothesised that self-concept and relationship are not independent of each other, and that they both have direct contribution toward the perception of life satisfaction in adolescents. Data were analysed using the structural equation modelling (SEM) technique. To test our hypotheses, we first proposed a structural model with self-concept and relationship as latent constructs and predictors of life satisfaction. The data collected were then fitted to the model by SEM. The results generally showed that the data fit the model well and that our hypotheses were confirmed. Specifically, it was demonstrated that the relationship construct exerts a greater influence on life satisfaction than the self-concept construct. For the relationship construct, parent-child relationship is much more important than school-child relationship. The resultant structural model therefore provides a concise summary of the existing data on life satisfaction of adolescents but its general application requires replication and validation in other cultural contexts.
