Abstract
The study aimed to examine the standard model of belonging, self-esteem instability, resilience and life satisfaction, in addition to identifying the mediating model of self-esteem instability and resilience as mediators between belonging and life satisfaction among a sample of adolescents. The study also aimed to identify the fundamental differences according to differences in gender, residence, grade levels, and interaction between them on the variables of the study. The sample comprised 446 students enrolling in high school (111 males, 335 females) with ages ranged 15-20 years (M= 16.83, SD=0.97). Results showed factorial validity, good internal consistency, Cronbach's alpha, and split half reliability of the study measures. The results also revealed a structural model that has excellent conformity indicators of X2 = 281.104, DF = 157, df / X2 = 1.790, CFI = 0.910, RMSEA = 0.042, IFI = 0.912, TLI = 0.900, GFI = 0.942. Results also showed that rejection/social exclusion predicts self-esteem instability and life satisfaction, and found self-esteem instability predicts resilience and the overall degree of resilience predicts life satisfaction. The results also indicated that there are no differences according to the variables of gender, place of residence, and the classroom, and the interaction between them on the variables of belonging, self-esteem instability, resilience, and life satisfaction except for the presence of differences with gender variable on the dimension of acceptance/inclusion, and the classroom variable on rejection/social exclusion dimension.
