Abstract

Future confidence, as a positive quality, demonstrates a protective effect on young people's behaviours and mental health, especially during the critical period of transition from adolescence to adulthood. However, the developmental trend of future confidence as adolescents enter early adulthood is unclear. This study used four waves of longitudinal data from the China Family Tracking Study (CFPS) 2012–2018. Totally 707 (48.7% male) samples were finalized for data analysis. The results showed that quadratic latent growth curve modelling (LGCM) is the best fit, which demonstrated an increasing and later decreasing trend. The present study found that subjective social status is positively related to the initial level of future confidence. The higher the subjective social status, the higher the initial level of future confidence, but it does not affect the subsequent trend. Academic performance was also positively correlated with initial future confidence levels, which affected subsequent trends. Specifically, the future confidence of adolescents with better academic performance exhibits a gradual decline, while the future confidence of adolescents with average and poor performance shows an initial increase followed by a decline. The findings provided an empirical basis for improving young people's confidence in the future and evidence for further research.

步入成年的中国青少年的未来信心趋势:主观社会地位和学习成绩的作用
未来自信作为一种积极的品质,对青少年的行为和心理健康具有保护作用,尤其是在青少年向成年过渡的关键时期。然而,未来信心在青少年进入成年早期的发展趋势尚不明确。本研究使用了中国家庭追踪研究(CFPS)2012-2018年的四波纵向数据。最终确定了 707 个样本(48.7% 为男性)进行数据分析。结果显示,二次潜增长曲线建模(LGCM)拟合效果最佳,呈现先上升后下降的趋势。本研究发现,主观社会地位与最初的未来信心水平呈正相关。主观社会地位越高,最初的未来信心水平越高,但这并不影响随后的趋势。学习成绩也与最初的未来信心水平呈正相关,并影响随后的趋势。具体来说,学习成绩较好的青少年的未来信心水平呈现逐渐下降的趋势,而学习成绩一般和较差的青少年的未来信心水平则呈现先上升后下降的趋势。研究结果为提高青少年对未来的信心提供了经验依据,也为进一步的研究提供了证据。
