Objective:Using the coping efficacy scale, perceived discrimination scale and coping efficacy scale were observed in 216 obese adolescents, to discuss the relationship of perceived discrimination, coping efficacy and school adjustment. Methods:Three high school students in Beijing, Ji'nan and Guiyang were selected as research subjects, and the height and weight measurement, school adjustment, discrimination perception and coping efficacy questionnaire were carried out. Results:(1) Gender differences in coping efficacy in obese adolescents (male 2.35±2.73 vs female 2.73±0.62,P<0.01), the school adaptation emotional adaptation dimensions (male 2.96±0.57 vs female 3.27±0.82, P<0.01), peer relation (male 3.05±0.82 vs female 3.37±0.63, P<0.01) showed significant differences, girls did a better job in coping self-efficacy r than boys, boys did better in emotional and peer relationship than girls, and no significant differences of perceived discrimination, learning adaptation, self adaptation, adaptive behavior and teacher-student relationship were found. (2) Coping self-efficacy was negatively correlated with perceived discrimination (r=-0.50, P<0.01), coping self-efficacy and school adaptation, self adaptation, emotional adaptation, adaptive behavior were positively related to peer relationship and teacher-student relationship (r=0.19,0.26,0.60,0.54,0.41,0.27, P<0.01), perceived discrimination and school adaptation, self adaptation, emotional adaptation, adaptive behavior, peer relationship were significantly negatively correlated with teacher-student relationship (r=-0.35,-0.24,-0.41,-0.38,-0.28,-0.32,P<0.01). (3) Structural equation model showed that, coping self-efficacy adaptation had partial mediating effect on perceived discrimination and school adaptation, intermediate effect to total effect ratio was 0.168. Conclusion:Coping self-efficacy plays a partial mediating role in the relationship between perceived discrimination and school adjustment in obese adolescents. |
