自尊和生活满意度是年轻人积极心理健康的重要方面，两者都是社会分布的。然而，大多数证据是基于家庭的社会经济特征。随着儿童进入青春期并获得独立，对自己社会地位的看法可能会影响心理健康。利用英国千禧年队列研究中11岁儿童的数据，我们调查了家庭收入和青少年对自己社会地位的看法与自尊和生活满意度的关系。我们假设，当调查全量表得分分布或分布的底部时，感知的社会地位对积极心理健康的影响会有差异。因此，我们估计了具有更大积极心理健康的比例优势（在分数分布中）和不良结果的OR（最低10%分数）。随着收入的增加，自尊心和生活满意度提高的可能性增加;同样，随着收入的减少，自尊心和生活满意度下降的风险也增加。认为自己的家庭比朋友穷（而不是差不多）的青少年不太可能有更高的自尊和生活满意度，更有可能有糟糕的结果。那些认为自己的家庭更富有的青少年更有可能自尊心不强，但自尊心并不弱。对于生活满意度，认为自己的家庭更富裕的青少年不太可能有更高的生活满意度，更有可能有穷人。在有孩子的家庭中重新分配收入的政策可能有利于年轻人的心理健康。然而，同样重要的是要考虑社会比较对年轻人进入青春期后心理健康的影响。
Self-esteem and life satisfaction are important aspects of positive mental health in young people, and both are socially distributed. However, the majority of evidence is based on socioeconomic characteristics of the family. As children enter adolescence and gain independence, perceptions of their own social position are likely to influence mental health. Using data on 11-year-olds from the UK Millennium Cohort Study, we investigated associations of both family income and young adolescents’ perception of their social position with self-esteem and life satisfaction. We hypothesised that there would be differences in the impact of perceived social position on positive mental health when investigating the full scale scoring distribution or the bottom of the distribution. Therefore, we estimated proportional odds for having greater positive mental health (across the distribution of scores) and ORs for poor outcomes (lowest 10% scores). The likelihood of greater self-esteem and life satisfaction increased with income; similarly, the risk of having poor self-esteem and life satisfaction increased as income decreased. Young adolescents who perceived their family as poorer than their friends (instead of about the same) were less likely to have greater self-esteem and life satisfaction and were more likely to have poor outcomes. Young adolescents who perceived their family as richer were more likely to have poor self-esteem, but were not less likely to have greater self-esteem. For life satisfaction, young adolescents who perceived their families as richer were less likely to have greater and more likely to have poor life satisfaction. Policies to redistribute income in families with children are likely to benefit the mental health of young people. However, it is also important to consider the impact of social comparison on young people's mental health as they enter adolescence.
