Abstract: This study aimed to examine the effect of internet altruistic behavior on hope and the mediating role of self-efficacy and self-esteem with Hope Scale, Internet Altruistic Behavior Scale, Self-esteem Scale and Self-efficacy Scale. Using a sample of 326 middle school students, the correlation analysis showed that there was a significant positive correlation between internet altruistic behavior, self-efficacy, self-esteem and hope of middle school students. The structural equation model (SEM) analysis indicated that self-efficacy in internet altruistic behavior played a full mediator effect of hope, and self-esteem didn't play a mediating role. Additionally, self-efficacy and self-esteem played a chain mediating role between middle school students' internet altruistic behavior and hope.

Key words: middle school students, internet altruistic behavior, hope, self-efficacy, self-esteem, mediating role
