From Self-Esteem and Academic Performance to Anxiety: A Cross-Lagged Study of Chinese First-Generation College Students
Overview
This cross-lagged study examines the longitudinal relationships between self-esteem, academic performance, and anxiety among 1,024 first-generation college students in China. The research finds that higher initial levels of self-esteem and better academic performance are associated with lower anxiety one year later. The resource provides empirical data on these associations to inform university mental health support systems.
