The ongoing COVID19 pandemic is having detrimental effects on the mental and emotional well-being of many adults and children. It is relevant therefore to explore the combination of personal strengths and attributes that can help an individual develop resilience to such stress. Little is known about how psychological strength assets such as social connectedness, grit, hope, life meaning, and life satisfaction are inter-related, and if certain factors play a central role. This study involved a sample of 1,405 school-aged children in Hong Kong (50% female) from seven schools that participated in an online survey of psychological strengths. Data were analyzed by constructing a psychological network that found strength factors are inter-connected, and that 'school connectedness' and 'agency thinking' are central to the network. The information gained can be of value in any schools that are planning to provide strength-based interventions to help students maintain their psychological well-being during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
持续的新冠疫情正在对许多成年人和儿童的心理和情绪健康产生不利影响。因此，探索个人优势和特质的组合以帮助个体培养应对此类压力的复原力具有重要意义。对于社会联系、毅力、希望、生活意义和生活满意度等心理优势资产之间如何相互关联，以及某些因素是否发挥核心作用，我们知之甚少。本研究对来自香港七所学校的1405名学龄儿童（50%为女性）进行了抽样，这些儿童参与了一项关于心理优势的在线调查。通过构建一个心理网络对数据进行分析，发现优势因素相互关联，且“学校联系”和“能动思维”在该网络中处于核心地位。所获得的信息对于任何计划提供基于优势的干预措施以帮助学生在新冠疫情期间及之后维持心理健康的学校都具有价值。
