摘要

This study evaluated the potential relationship between gratitude and coping strategies, examining the indirect effects of perceived social support and self-esteem in this association. Beginning in January 2023, our research team conducted three waves of longitudinal surveys involving 2,018 high school students from senior secondary schools in China. Structural equation modeling was performed using Mplus software to explore the relationships among gratitude, coping strategies, perceived social support, and self-esteem. Gratitude significantly predicted coping strategies both directly and indirectly through perceived social support and self-esteem. Gratitude positively predicts coping strategies both directly and indirectly. Individuals with higher levels of gratitude tend to perceive greater external social support and experience enhanced internal self-esteem, enabling them to adopt more positive and constructive coping strategies in the face of stress and challenges. This phenomenon is referred to by researchers as the “Gratitude–Self Empowerment–Coping Regulation Model.” In Eastern societies, schools and families should emphasize integrating gratitude education with Confucian values to cultivate virtuous qualities in adolescents, such as benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and integrity.
