Abstract

This study analyzes the link between gratitude and life satisfaction among ethnic minority adolescents, while also evaluating the mediation effect of prosocial conduct, with an emphasis on the prosocial behavior's altruism component in connection to gratitude and life satisfaction. This study investigates the underlying mechanisms of gratitude in enhancing life satisfaction among minority adolescents using cross-sectional data, aiming to uncover effective strategies for improving teenagers’ well-being. The research employs the Adolescent Gratitude Scale, Life Satisfaction Scale, and Prosocial Behavior Scale to survey a sample of 1,781 minority middle school students from five different schools. The results show:(1) Gratitude significantly positively predicted the life satisfaction of minority students;(2) For minority middle school pupils, the association between gratitude and life satisfaction was somewhat mediated by altruistic conduct.
