As previous pandemics, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has direct and indirect effects on mental health and well-being. The purpose of the current study was to examine whether meaning in life mediated the association between coronavirus suffering and satisfaction with life and whether stress-related growth moderated the mediating effect of meaning in life on the association between these variables. Stress-Related Growth Measure (SGM) was also conducted for the purpose of this study. The participants were 402 (66% women) young adults who completed the Suffering Measure During COVID-19, Meaningful Living Measure, Satisfaction With Life Scale, and SGM. The results indicated that the SGM has adequate psychometric properties with unidimensional structure of stress-related growth in the face of adversity. Moderated mediation analysis revealed that coronavirus suffering directly influenced satisfaction with life as well as indirectly by its effect on meaning in life. Additionally, stress-related growth was found as a moderator in the relationship between coronavirus suffering-meaning in life and coronavirus suffering-satisfaction with life. These results suggest that meaning in life mitigates the effect of coronavirus suffering on satisfaction with life, and this mediating effect is moderated by stress-related growth in young adults. While meaning in life helps explain the relationship between coronavirus suffering and satisfaction with life, the stress-related growth functions as a protective factor against the adverse effect of coronavirus experiences.
与以往的大流行病一样，2019年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）对心理健康和幸福感有直接和间接影响。本研究的目的是检验生活意义是否在冠状病毒感染痛苦与生活满意度之间的关联中起中介作用，以及与压力相关的成长是否调节生活意义在这些变量之间关联中的中介作用。本研究还进行了与压力相关的成长测量（SGM）。参与者为402名（66%为女性）年轻人，他们完成了COVID-19期间的痛苦测量、有意义生活测量、生活满意度量表和SGM。结果表明，SGM具有足够的心理测量学特性，面对逆境时与压力相关的成长具有单维结构。调节中介分析显示，冠状病毒感染痛苦直接影响生活满意度，也通过其对生活意义的影响间接影响生活满意度。此外，发现与压力相关的成长在冠状病毒感染痛苦-生活意义和冠状病毒感染痛苦-生活满意度之间的关系中起调节作用。这些结果表明，生活意义减轻了冠状病毒感染痛苦对生活满意度的影响，而这种中介作用在年轻人中受到与压力相关的成长的调节。虽然生活意义有助于解释冠状病毒感染痛苦与生活满意度之间的关系，但与压力相关的成长起到了抵御冠状病毒经历负面影响的保护因素的作用。
