Abstract

To investigate the influence mechanism of teacher-student relationship and the social emotional competence of teenagers in ethnic areas of western China, 802 ethnic minority students were conducted by the teacher-student relationship scale, positive empathy scale, self-efficacy scale and social-emotional competence scale. The results show that the teacher-student relationship has a significant positive effect on the social and emotional competence of middle school students; positive empathy and self-efficacy play a separate role between the teacher-student relationship and social-emotional competence; the chain mediation of positive empathy and self-efficacy also plays a significant role between the teacher-student relationship and social-emotional competence. These finding indicates that the teacher-student relationship and individual internal positive resources can promote the social emotional competence of ethnic minority adolescents, and has guiding significance for the positive development of adolescents.
