The purpose of this study was to examine the association between life satisfaction and positive student-teacher and peer relationships. Further, we aimed to test the mediating effects of student resilience in a multilevel model. The data were collected from elementary students in South Korea. To examine the mediating effects of student resilience, multilevel structural equation modelling was conducted. The results indicated that schools with positive student-teacher relationships correlated with higher life satisfaction for children. This relationship was fully mediated by student resilience. However, the mediating effects of student resilience in the relationship between peer relationships and life satisfaction was found to be at the individual level rather than by school climate. Practical implications on ways to improve students’ life satisfaction within the school and classroom settings are discussed.

本研究的目的是检验生活满意度与积极的师生关系和同伴关系之间的关系。此外，我们的目的是在多层次模型中测试学生复原力的中介效应。这些数据是从韩国的小学生那里收集的。为了检验学生复原力的中介作用，进行了多层次结构方程建模。结果表明，拥有积极师生关系的学校与儿童的更高生活满意度相关。这种关系完全由学生的韧性来调节。然而，学生韧性在同伴关系和生活满意度之间的关系中的中介作用被发现是在个人层面而不是学校氛围。
