The present study sought to investigate the mediating effect of the affective balance and resilience on the association between meaningful living and psychological health problems among Turkish young adults in the context of COVID-19. The participants were 359 Turkish young adults, comprising of primarily female (68.2%), and their age ranged between 18 to 43 (age = 20.67, = 3.62). Findings from this study indicated that meaningful living had a positive predictive effect on resilience and positive affect, as well as a negative predicative on psychological health challenges and negative affect. Resilience and affective balance also mediated the effect of meaningful living on psychological health of young adults. These results suggest that resilience and affective balance are important aspects of meaning-focused preventions and interventions designed to build up resilience, positive affectivity, and psychological health.
本研究旨在探讨在新冠疫情背景下，情感平衡和心理韧性在土耳其年轻人有意义的生活与心理健康问题之间的关联中所起的中介作用。参与者为359名土耳其年轻人，主要为女性（68.2%），年龄在18至43岁之间（平均年龄=20.67，标准差=3.62）。本研究结果表明，有意义的生活对心理韧性和积极情感具有正向预测作用，而对心理健康挑战和消极情感具有负向预测作用。心理韧性和情感平衡也在有意义的生活对年轻人心理健康的影响中起中介作用。这些结果表明，心理韧性和情感平衡是以意义为重点的预防和干预措施的重要方面，这些措施旨在培养心理韧性、积极情感和心理健康。
