the people's attitudes to money,emotion and behavior tend to be the people's money attitudes,which,in a way,define the way people acquire and control their money,and also indirectly affect people's values and philosophies.Self-worth and subjective well-being are the value of survival.It is necessary to develop a good financial attitude when you are 12 to 16 year old as a key time for value shaping.They happen to be between the ages of 12 and 16,an important moment in the budding and psychological development of the relationship,and at this stage,there is a lack of rational and objective analysis,and it is easily influenced by external factors.It is also because of that prevail time in today's consumer culture,the life of middle school student and the value of the values directly influenced by money.From this perspective,the study of middle school students' money attitude and its relationship with their sense of self-worth and subjective well-being is conducive to the understanding of middle school students' money cognition,emotion and behavioral tendency,and the enhancement of middle school students' sense of self-worth and happiness.This study conducted a questionnaire survey on 637 junior high school students of three grades in a certain middle school in neijiang city.From the perspectives of money attitude,self-value,subjective well-being and other three perspectives,based on relevant theoretical knowledge and field survey results,the present situation of mental health of contemporary middle school students was analyzed and discussed.At the same time,combined with the survey results,some constructive Suggestions are put forward on correcting the students' incorrect attitude towards money,shaping the correct outlook on life and values,and improving the education of school mental health.After a series of analysis and research,this study summarizes the following conclusions:(1)In terms of monetary attitude: due to the limited cost of the middle school student at this stage,it is more prudent to govern money.From the perspective of trust,junior high school students tend to hesitate about their use of money and think about whether the money in their hands is worth spending.From the perspective of anxiety,there is a tendency of anxiety in the process of use and acquisition because there is less money at one's disposal.In addition,there is a significant gender difference in the tendency of money behavior.Boys pay more attention to the quality and brand of goods than girls,and girls are more hesitant to use money.However,there are significant grade differences in money cognition.With the increase of age,middle school students' money awareness will also be significantly improved,and they will increasingly pay attention to the use value of money.At the same time,the study found that whether there is pocket money or not and whether there is a habit of saving or not will lead to the difference of money cognition and money emotion of middle school students.Middle school students without pocket money are more hesitant to control money than middle school students with pocket money,and often have the tendency of anxiety and panic.In addition,the existence of savings habits of middle school students also affects their attitude towards money to some extent: studies show that students with savings habits are more rational and rigorous in controlling money;Students without the habit of saving were more anxious about having money.(2)Sense of self-worth: the average score of junior high school students' sense of self-worth is 3.59,higher than the theoretical median of 3.From this result,the sense of self-worth of junior high school students is in the upper middle level.And in order from high to low,they are listed as follows: 1.Overall self-worth;2.Second,special self-worth;Third,general sense of self-worth.(3)In terms of subjective well-being,the average score of junior high school students' subjective well-being is 73.According to the ranking of happiness,the overall happiness of contemporary junior high school students is at the upper middle level,which belongs to the level of positive happiness.In addition,the research results also show that there is a significant gender difference in subjective well-being,which is reflected in the fact that male happiness is superior to female happiness.(4)Emotions such as anxiety and distrust tend to have negative effects on subjective well-being and positively predict self-worth;The money budget and other indicators can not directly predict the happiness of contemporary junior high school students,nor can they better predict the sense of self-worth.(5)Junior high school students' sense of self-worth can predict subjective wellbeing,while the prediction of subjective well-being by the sense of self-worth can be partially mediated by money attitude.
