2022-07-29 original data of Host name-liking and subjective well-being of international students in western society self-esteem as a mediator doi:10.57760/sciencedb.o00115.00020 en Studies have indicated that original name-liking is a predictor of self-esteem and subjective well-being; the converse is true. However, it has been customary for Chinese international students (CIS) to adopt host names, that is, English names, as a part of their East-West cultural transition (Edwards, 2006). Therefore, this study aimed to explore whether the psychological impact of host names is similar to that of original names. Using a sample of 218 CIS in the UK, this study explored whether host name-liking followed a similar psychological mechanism to original name-liking and predicted subjective well-being, particularly via self-esteem. The findings indicated that host name-liking was positively associated with subjective well-being and that this association was mediated by self-esteem. The findings provided insight into the relationship between host name-liking and subjective well-being, as well as practical suggestions for minorities. host names; original names; name-liking; self-esteem; subjective well-being Ting Hu Yajing Wang Xiaopeng Ren PUBLIC https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ dataset http://www.doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-3040875/v1 Science Data Bank
