It is reported that about 21.88% of child population with an estimated number of 61\u2009million are left-behind children whose parents leave them to work in cities. We conducted a cross-sectional study to explore the impacts of left-behind experience (LBE) on college students\u2019 depression and other influencing factors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Aim:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study discusses the mediation effect of self-esteem together with psychological resilience on college students with depression and negative life events of left-behind.

Adolescent Self-Rating Life Events Check List (ASLEC), Self-Esteem Scale (SES), Resilience Scale of Chinese Adolescent (RSCA) and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) were used to measure the negative life events, self-esteem, psychological resilience and depression, respectively. Bootstrap program was used to test the mediation effect, and multiple-group analysis was used to examine the regulation effect for LBE.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Scores of ASLEC for the college students with LBEs were higher than those without LBEs (8.59\u2009\u00b1\u20093.57) vs (7.06\u2009\u00b1\u20093.38), p\u2009&lt;\u2009.001). The scores of LBE, ASLEC and SDS were positively correlated with the college students with LBEs ( r\u2009=\u2009.21 to .29, p\u2009&lt;\u2009.01), while the scores of RSCA and SES were negatively correlated ( r\u2009=\u2009\u2212.30 to \u2212.59, p\u2009&lt;\u2009.01). The mediation effect of college students\u2019 self-esteem and psychological resilience between negative life events and depression was significant (mediating effect\u2009=\u2009.08, .13, .07; p\u2009&lt;\u2009.01). Thus, the college students\u2019 self-esteem and psychological resilience on negative life events had strong mediation effect on depression. The test of Bootstrap showed that the mediation effect of self-esteem and psychological resilience was significant (95% confidence interval (CI)\u2009=\u2009[0.04\u20130.76]). The LBE had regulation effect on college students\u2019 self-esteem and psychological resilience.
