The relationship between coping styles and subjective well-being (SWB) has recently received considerable empirical and theoretical attention in the scientific literature. However, the mechanisms underlying this relationship have primarily remained unclear. The present research aimed to determine whether emotion regulation mediated the relationship between coping styles and subjective well-being (SWB). Our hypothesis is based on the integration of theoretical models among 1,247 Chinese college students. The SWB questionnaire, Ways of Coping Questionnaire, and Emotion Regulation Questionnaire were used to correlate SWB, emotion regulation strategies, and coping styles, respectively. The random forest method was applied to predict life satisfaction and estimate the average variable importance to life satisfaction. The results indicated that positive coping can indirectly influence life satisfaction via cognitive reappraisal and indirectly influence expression suppression via positive affect. Negative coping can indirectly influence negative affect via expression suppression. Besides, negative coping was positively associated with both expression suppression and negative affect. Cognitive reappraisal was found to be positively associated with positive affect. The findings indicated that coping style is essential for the SWB of college students. These findings provide insight into how coping styles impact SWB and have implications for developing and assessing emotion regulation-based interventions.
应对方式与主观幸福感（SWB）之间的关系最近在科学文献中受到了大量实证和理论关注。然而，这种关系背后的机制主要仍不明确。本研究旨在确定情绪调节是否介导了应对方式与主观幸福感（SWB）之间的关系。我们的假设基于对1247名中国大学生理论模型的整合。分别使用主观幸福感问卷、应对方式问卷和情绪调节问卷来关联主观幸福感、情绪调节策略和应对方式。应用随机森林方法预测生活满意度并估计各变量对生活满意度的平均重要性。结果表明，积极应对可通过认知重评间接影响生活满意度，并通过积极情绪间接影响表达抑制。消极应对可通过表达抑制间接影响消极情绪。此外，消极应对与表达抑制和消极情绪均呈正相关。发现认知重评与积极情绪呈正相关。研究结果表明应对方式对大学生的主观幸福感至关重要。这些发现为应对方式如何影响主观幸福感提供了见解，并对基于情绪调节的干预措施的开发和评估具有启示意义。
