Although stressful life events (SLEs) frequently relate to negative outcomes, many individuals demonstrate resilience by positively adapting to stressors without significant impairment. Valued living, a key process in the theory underpinning acceptance and commitment therapy is a response style characterized by daily purposeful actions that are linked to important values and may promote resilience in college students. This study examined the main and interactive effects of SLEs and valued living in the prediction of a multidimensional measure of resilience. Results supported a strong positive relationship between resilience and valued living. Further, valued living moderated the association between SLE negative impact scores and resilience (but not the association between cumulative prior year SLEs and resilience). Although SLE negative impact scores were negatively associated with resilience at lower levels of valued living, there was no demonstrated relationship at higher levels of valued living. Implications related to promoting valued living among college students in the service of increasing resilience are discussed.
虽然生活应激事件（SLEs）经常与负面结果有关，但许多个体通过积极适应压力源而没有明显的损伤表现出了韧性。有价值的生活是接受和承诺疗法理论基础中的一个关键过程，它是一种反应方式，其特点是日常有目的的行动与重要价值观相关联，并且可能促进大学生的韧性。本研究考察了 SLEs 和有价值的生活在预测多维韧性衡量标准中的主效应和交互效应。结果支持了韧性与有价值的生活之间的强烈正相关关系。此外，有价值的生活调节了 SLE 负面影响得分与韧性之间的关联（但不是与累积前一年 SLEs 与韧性之间的关联）。虽然 SLE 负面影响得分与韧性在较低水平的有价值的生活之间呈负相关，但在较高水平的有价值的生活中没有表现出这种关系。讨论了与促进大学生有价值的生活相关的意义，以提高韧性。
