Key Points

This research aims to examine the transition effects between self-esteem in 4th graders and life satisfaction from 5th grade to 2nd year of middle school.
Analyzed data from a multicultural youth panel survey across five years (2019-2023) involving 1,795 participants.
Identified latent classes of self-esteem (medium, high) and life satisfaction (weak decrease, strong decrease, increase).
Investigated influences of parental support, social competence, and school adaptation on transitions between latent classes.
Higher self-esteem groups had the highest probability of transitioning to a weak decrease in life satisfaction.
The identified latent classes showed significant influences by parental support, social competence, and school adaptation on transition dynamics.

Examines transitions in self-esteem and life satisfaction in multicultural adolescents, suggesting support strategies for improvement.
