Previous studies have found that hope mitigates depression among left-behind children; however, the specific mechanisms through which hope plays this role have yet to be explored in depth. We constructed a moderated mediation model using a questionnaire to examine the mediating role
of life satisfaction between hope and depression and the moderating role of positive coping style in the above mediating pathway, with 611 left-behind children in China as participants. The results showed that hope negatively predicted depression and positively predicted life satisfaction,
and that life satisfaction and depression were negatively correlated. Further, life satisfaction fully mediated the relationship between hope and depression, and positive coping moderated this mediation path. Implications of the findings are discussed.

Previous research has examined the effect of perceived discrimination on prosocial tendencies, but not the specific mechanisms by which the perceived discrimination functions. This study used questionnaires completed by 837 Chinese migrant children to construct a moderated mediation
effects model to examine the mediating role of personal just world belief in the relationship between perceived discrimination and prosocial tendencies. Further, we examined the moderating role of a general just world belief in the above mediating pathway. The results showed that perceived
discrimination negatively predicted personal just world belief and prosocial tendencies, and personal just world beliefs positively predicted prosocial tendencies. Personal just world belief fully mediated the relationship between perceived discrimination and prosocial tendencies. Further,
a general just world belief moderated the mediating effect of perceived discrimination on prosocial tendencies via personal just world belief.
