This study investigates how (i.e., through what mechanism) and when (i.e., under what conditions) goal-oriented self-regulation behaviors improve college students' psychological well-being. On the basis of data from 74 s-year Chinese college students in a weekly diary study (296 observations), we conducted a moderated mediation model and found that goal-oriented self-regulations behaviors (i.e., planning, monitoring, controlling, and reflecting) were positively related to college students' psychological well-being through increased academic performance. Further, such an indirect effect was stronger when college students' optimism and social support were high. This study contributes to student development and self-regulation literature by underscoring that academic performance plays a vital intermediate role in the relationship between self-regulation behaviors and college students' psychological well-being. Besides, we highlight that optimism and social support act as important personal and social resources for college students that can better unleash the positive effects of goal-oriented self-regulation behaviors.
本研究探讨了目标导向的自我调节行为如何（即通过何种机制）以及何时（即在何种条件下）改善大学生的心理健康。基于一项针对74名中国大学生的每周日记研究（共296次观察）的数据，我们构建了一个有调节的中介模型，发现目标导向的自我调节行为（即计划、监控、控制和反思）通过提高学业成绩与大学生的心理健康呈正相关。此外，当大学生的乐观程度和社会支持较高时，这种间接效应更强。本研究强调学业成绩在自我调节行为与大学生心理健康之间的关系中起着至关重要的中介作用，从而为学生发展和自我调节文献做出了贡献。此外，我们强调乐观和社会支持作为大学生重要的个人和社会资源，可以更好地释放目标导向的自我调节行为的积极影响。
