The objective of this study was to determine whether hope mediates in the relationship between human rights victimization experience and self-esteem of university students.
SPSS Win.21.0 and SPSS macro PROCESS for all statistical analyses were used. Descriptive statistics, Reliability analysis, correlation analysis, mean comparison analysis, path analysis, and bias correction bootstrapping analysis were performed.
First, correlation analysis showed that human rights victimization experience had negative correlations with hope and self-esteem, while hope and self-esteem showed positive correlation. Second, path analysis showed that human rights victimization negatively affected self-esteem and hope while hope positively affected self-esteem. Third, bootstrapping analysis verified that there was a mediating effect of hope in the relationship between human rights victimization experience and self-esteem of university students.
This result will be used for maintaining self-esteem when university students experience human rights victimization.
