The mayor findings were as follows: First, the pathway of ‘shift of ‘status→depression_ICEPT’ and the pathway of ‘numbers of shift→depression_ICEPT’ were significant, but the pathway of ‘terms of shift→depression_ICEPT’ was not significant. and the pathway of ‘terms of shift→self-esteem_ICEPT’ was significant, but the pathway of ‘shift of status→self-esteem_ ICEPT’ and the pathway of ‘numbers of status shift→self-esteem_ ICEPT’ were not significant. Second, the pathway of ‘depression_ICEPT→life satisfaction_ICEPT’ was negative(-) related, but the pathway of ‘depression_ ICEPT→life satisfaction_SLOPE’ was positive(+) related. Suggestion and limitation of this study, and points to consider in future research were discussed.
