Abstract:

The relationships among social exclusion, life satisfaction, social self-efficacy, social support are discussed by multi-wave questionnaire survey for 174 migrants in China. The result shows that:(1)Perceived social exclusion negatively correlates with life satis-faction; (2)social self-efficacy serves as the mediating variable between social exclusion and life satisfaction;(3)Social support moder-ates the relationship between social self-efficacy and life satisfaction. That is, the relationship is less positive when social support is low rather than high.

Key words: social exclusion, life satisfaction, social self-efficacy, social support
