Negative school gossip and prosocial behavior among high school students: mediated by basic psychological needs satisfaction and moderated by self-compassion
2024
Overview
Negative gossip is prevalent in schools, yet there is limited research on the relationship between negative school gossip and prosocial behavior, as well as the underlying mechanisms. The present study examined the moderated mediation model to validate the mediating role of basic psychological needs satisfaction and the moderating effect of self-compassion in this relationship. A total of 854 Chinese high school students (
M
age
=16.89,
SD
= 1.07) were asked to complete a questionnaire consisting of a negative school gossip scale, a prosocial behavior measure, a basic psychological needs scale, and a self-compassion Scale. The PROCESS macro in SPSS was applied to examine the moderated mediation model. The results showed that, first, negative school gossip negatively predicted prosocial behavior among high school students. Second, basic psychological needs satisfaction mediated the link between negative school gossip and prosocial behavior. Third, self-compassion moderated the indirect link between negative school gossip and prosocial behavior. Self-compassion buffered the effect of negative school gossip on basic psychological needs satisfaction but enhanced basic psychological needs satisfaction on prosocial behavior. The study examined the negative predicting effect of negative school gossip on prosocial behavior among Chinese high school students. These results highlight the importance for educators to focus on the adverse effects of negative gossip on prosocial behavior among adolescents in school. It also emphasizes the importance of fulfilling student’s basic psychological needs and strengthening their self-compassion abilities.
