Social exclusion and mental health of youths affected by parental HIV/AIDS in China: Based on a serial mediating model. by Jiaojiao Wan, Lili Ji, ZheQian Wang, Junfeng Zhao, Xiaoming Li

“…<h4>Results</h4>It showed that: (1) the social exclusion (M = 32.48, SD = 15.25) significantly and negatively predicted the mental health (M = 93.27, SD = 19.08). (2) Perceived stress (M = 39.28, SD = 6.35) mediated the negative effect of the social exclusion and mental health. (3) Future orientation (M = 57.44, SD = 8.15) mediated the relationship between social exclusion and mental health. (4) Perceived stress and future orientation could play a chain-mediating role in the mechanism of social exclusion affecting the mental health.…”
