This study evaluated the impact of relational mobility on well-being, integrating the mediating effects of sense of safety and school identification. Participants comprised 373 university students who completed online surveys over 1 week, after which we used partial least squares regression to analyze the data. The results showed (a) the direct effect of relational mobility on well-being was not significant, (b) relational mobility had a positive impact on sense of safety and school identification, (c) sense of safety and school identification had a positive impact on well-being, and (d) sense of safety and school identification serially mediated the relationship between relational mobility and well-being. Researchers, educators, and policymakers can benefit from these new insights into how relational mobility affects Chinese university students’ well-being and how sense of safety and school identification contribute to its impact.
