Description
Weifeng Xue, Yidan Ma, and Yin Xu published a psychology study in 2025 on left-behind children in China. These children stay home while parents work far away. Many report feeling discriminated against, which harms mental health. The authors asked what sits between that stress and a child's well-being.
They surveyed over seven hundred children in Sichuan Province. The children were between ten and fifteen years old. Questionnaires measured discrimination, social support, resilience, and happiness. Children who felt more discrimination reported lower well-being. Social support and resilience each explained part of that link. Support also seemed to protect well-being by building resilience. The findings suggest strengthening support networks around these children.
