Abstract:
ObjectiveTo explore the influence of locus of control,self-efficacy and self-esteem on shame.MethodsTotal 924 students from six primary and middle schools in Chengdu were recruited by stratified sampling.They were assessed with locus of control,self-efficacy,self-esteem,and shame questionnaire.Results ( 1 ) Shame was significantly negatively related with self-efficacy (r =- 0.248 ) and self-esteem (r =- 0.318 ),and was significantly positively related with locus of control (r =0.185 ).Locus of control was negatively associated with self-efficacy(r =- 0.214) and self-esteem (r =- 0.254).Self-efficacy was positively related with self-esteem (r =0.440) ; (2) Self-esteem played partial mediating role between shame and locus of control as well as self-efficacy; ( 3 ) Self-efficacy played partial mediating role between locus of control and self-esteem as well as shame ; (4) High self-esteem group and low self-esteem group existed significant differences in whole structure equation model.Based on the whole model,the high self-esteem group reduced the path from locus of control to self-esteem ; and low self-esteem group reduced the path from locus of control to self-efficacy.ConclusionLocus of control and self-efficacy are not only directly but also indirectly associated with shame by self-esteem,and self-efficacy would be regulated by the level of self-esteem.
