Mental health is an important aspect of the process of individual adaptation and development. The present study analysed the role played by resilience in mental health while taking into account both positive and negative indicators among juveniles. The aim of the first study (Study 1) is to analyse the relationship between resilience and the broadly understood mental health of juveniles admitted to youth education centres. Study 2 aimed to understand the direct and indirect role of resilience in shaping the mental health of juveniles. In the model we tested, we looked at the relationship among resilience, coping strategies, and mental well-being.
The first study involved 201 juveniles, and the second involved 253 juveniles. Resilience was measured by the Resilience Scale-14. Coping strategies were measured with the Brief-COPE Questionnaire, and information on mental health was obtained using the Kutcher Adolescent Depression Scale, the Satisfaction with Life Scale and the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale.
The results of both studies have shown that resilience is an important predictor of the mental health of juveniles, primarily with respect to its positive indicator. The stronger the severity of resilience, the greater the satisfaction with life and mental well-being of the juveniles surveyed. In addition, two coping strategies (seeking support from others and coping through emotions) mediated the relationship between resilience and mental well-being.
The results obtained indicate that work at the level of juvenile resilience leads to the strengthening of positive mental health indicators and buffering of negative indicators.
心理健康是个体适应与发展过程中的一个重要方面。本研究在考虑青少年的积极和消极指标的同时,分析了心理韧性在心理健康中所起的作用。第一项研究(研究1)的目的是分析心理韧性与进入青少年教育中心的青少年广义心理健康之间的关系。研究2旨在了解心理韧性在塑造青少年心理健康方面的直接和间接作用。在我们测试的模型中,我们研究了心理韧性、应对策略和心理健康之间的关系。
第一项研究涉及201名青少年,第二项研究涉及253名青少年。心理韧性通过14项心理韧性量表进行测量。应对策略通过简易应对方式问卷进行测量,心理健康信息通过库彻青少年抑郁量表、生活满意度量表和沃里克 - 爱丁堡心理健康量表获得。
两项研究的结果均表明,心理韧性是青少年心理健康的重要预测指标,主要体现在其积极指标方面。心理韧性越强,被调查青少年的生活满意度和心理健康水平越高。此外,两种应对策略(向他人寻求支持和通过情绪应对)介导了心理韧性与心理健康之间的关系。
所得结果表明,致力于提高青少年的心理韧性会增强积极的心理健康指标,并缓冲消极指标。
