The chain mediating effect of self-respect and self-control on peer relationship and early adolescent phone dependence by Shuyuan Guo, Jianhua Zhang, Aolun Wang, Tiancheng Zhang, Yang Liu, Shiyuan Zhang

“…Self-respect was positively correlated with self-control (r = 0.519, P < 0.01). The structural equation model shows that Self-respect and self-control play a partial mediating role in the relationship between peer relationship and mobile phone dependence, in which the mediating effect size of Self-respect is - 0.098 (effect size 18.63%, 95%CI=- 0.140~- 0.059), and the mediating effect size of self-control is - 0.131 (effect size 24.90%, 95%CI=- 0.188~- 0.073); The chain mediating effect size of Self-respect and self-control was − 0.252 (effect size 47.91%, 95%CI = - 0.293~- 0.434). …”

“…The study variables were analyzed in sequence for reliability and validity, correlation analysis, regression analysis, structural equation model testing, and bias-corrected percentile Bootstrap testing using SPSS 23.0 software and Hayes’ (2013) Process plug-in.Results: Physical exercise was significantly positively correlated with self-assessed health status and satisfaction of life (β = 0.049, p < 0.01; β = 0.075, p < 0.01), and significantly negatively correlated with risk of depression (β = − 0.022, p < 0.01); self-assessed health status was significantly positively correlated with satisfaction of life (β = 0.440, p < 0.01), and significantly negatively correlated with risk of depression (β = − 0.047, p < 0.01); satisfaction of life was significantly negatively correlated with risk of depression (β = − 0.137, p < 0.01).Conclusion: Physical exercise not only negatively predicted the risk of depression, but also indirectly predicted the risk of depression through the independent mediating effects of self-assessed health status and satisfaction of life, as well as chain mediating effects. …”
