Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the longitudinal relationship between self-esteem and hope of adolescents and to explore gender differences.Methods:A total of 1 982 adolescents,aged 11 to 24,participated in a l-year lon-gitudinal study with 3 waves of assessments(T1,baseline time;T2,6 months later;T3,1 year later).The Self-Es-teem Scale(SES)and the Children's Hope Scale(CHS)were used to measure levels of self-esteem and hope.The data were analyzed using a cross-lagged panel model and multi-group structural equation modeling.Results:Across the three measurement waves,the self-esteem scores were positively correlated with the hope scores(r=0.40-0.67).Results from the cross-lagged analysis indicated a bidirectional predictive relationship between the self-es-teem scores and hope scores over the year(β=0.09-0.22).The results of multi-group analysis showed significant gender differences in the autoregressive path of self-esteem in the three measures(Waldx2=3.78-3.84).Conclu-sion:Adolescents' self-esteem and hope exhibit a bidirectional predictive relationship,with no significant gender differences in the cross-lagged paths.
