Abstract

This study aimed to explore the factors that contribute to the high level of competitiveness among students in the People’s Republic of China (PRC). The expectancy value theory has suggested that the fear of failure (FOF) and a highly perceived value for achievement (expectancy value belief, EVB) are the key drivers of competitiveness. To examine this theory, the study analyzed data from 969 college students in the PRC using Bootstrap Analysis with 5,000 samples in a 95% confidence interval. The study found that while the value placed on academic achievement did motivate students to fear failure and become more competitive, perceived social support played a significant role in moderating this relationship. Specifically, the students’ perception of social support moderated the mediation of (FOF) on the link between EVB and competitiveness. These findings suggest that social support is a crucial factor in shaping the dynamics of competitiveness among PRC students. The study may have implications for educators and policymakers seeking to promote healthy competition and academic achievement in highly competitive education systems.

Abstract

This study examined the dynamic between perceived authoritarian parenting style (PAPS), and subjective wellbeing (SWB) among purposively recruited 423 college students in China. Expectancy value beliefs (EVB), fear of failure (FOF), and competitiveness were taken as mediators. The data were analyzed using Bootstrap method of 5000 sample and 95% confidence interval. The results revealed a significant negative total effect of PAPS on SWB. Additionally, two indirect paths were found to be significant: the mediation of FOF (Path 2) and the serial mediation of FOF and competitiveness (Path 6). These findings suggest that the perception of authoritarian parenting style is a negative predictor of students' happiness, and that FOF and competitiveness played important mediating roles in this relationship. These findings have important implications for educators, parents, and policymakers who aim to promote positive academic and personal outcomes for college students. The results suggest the need for interventions that address the negative impact of PAPS on students' wellbeing, and the importance of fostering positive beliefs about the value of education and academic achievement, as well as reducing FOF and promoting healthy competition.
