This study tries to find out the status of vocational school students' subjective well-being and the influence of self-worth and social support on it. The essay is expected to further the study on subjective well-being and to offer some references in terms of the enhancement of vocational school students' subjective well-being.Questionnaire of Chinese adolescent life satisfaction(QCALS), happiness scale, the self-worth scale for adolescents and perceived social support scale(PSSS) were employed to study 490 vocational school students. The result indicates that vocational school students get moderate level of subjective well-being. There is no significant difference of subjective well-being between girls and boys. Achievement satisfaction (one of the factors of life satisfaction) of secondary vocational school students is significantly higher than senior vocational school students. Negative affect and the school satisfaction of the students from countries are significantly higher than those from cities. Self-worth is positively correlated with life satisfaction and positive affect, while it is negatively correlated with negative affect. So is social support. Different aspects of social support have influence on different components of subjective well-being. Friend support is the best predictor for subjective well-being. Structural equation modeling analysis shows that the model is an accepted one. The model deals with the study that self-worth is mediator factor between social support and subjective well-being, and simultaneously social support directly influences subjective well-being.
