Abstract: The present study aimed to explore the relationship between life meaning, selfefficacy and subjective wellbeing among Chinese adolescents. A total of 426 middle school students completed three scales including the Life Attitude Profile Scale, General SelfEfficacy Scale, and General WellBeing Scale. The results showed that: (1) Adolescents life meaning, selfefficacy and subjective wellbeing were positively associated with each other; (2) Adolescents lifemeaning effectively predicted selfefficacy and subjective wellbeing, and selfefficacy effectively predicted subjective wellbeing; (3) Selfefficacy mediated the relationship between life meaning and subjective wellbeing among adolescents. The results indicated that both adolescents life meaning and selfefficacy can influence subjective wellbeing, and life meaning can indirectly influence subjective wellbeing through selfefficacy. We concluded that the development of life meaning education is the important way to promote adolescents subjective wellbeing.

Key words: life meaning; selfefficacy; subjective wellbeing; adolescents
