This study aimed to compare the role of individual and communal self-esteem (CSE) in predicting subjective wellbeing (SWB) in Australian and Hong Kong Chinese populations, with the latter group included first- and second-generation immigrants. It was interesting to note that CSE predicted SWB variance more strongly for Australian Chinese than for Hong Kong Chinese and that the amount of SWB variance contributed by CSE was highest for Australian second-generation Chinese immigrants. Both self-esteem and CSE predicted SWB variance for all Chinese respondents by embedding in the homeostatic model of SWB. These results were consistent with the greater levels of collectivism observed among Australian Chinese people, which were accounted for by their migrant status and feelings of nostalgia.
