Positive coping (e.g., self-efficacy and positive reappraisal) and savoring could bear mental health implications under large-scale disasters such as COVID-19. The integrative affect-regulation framework of psychological resilience proposes that evaluative efforts regulate affect, which then predicts positive short-term consequences and better mental health. This two-wave study was done during the prolonged, intensive COVID-19 control rules in Hong Kong and examined (1) the prospective associations of positive coping processes (i.e., self-efficacy and positive reappraisal) (T1, March-August 2021) with subsequent psychiatric symptoms (T2, September 2021-February 2022) and (2) the mediating effect of T2 savoring in the associations. Path analyses revealed that T1 self-efficacy and positive reappraisal were inversely related to T2 psychiatric symptoms. T2 savoring partially mediated the effect of T1 self-efficacy but fully mediated the effect of T1 positive reappraisal. Self-efficacy could have more sustainable direct positive associations with mental health, whereas the benefit of positive reappraisal might need to be catalyzed by savoring over time. Our study offered concrete illustrations of the conceptual tenets of the affect-regulation framework.
积极应对（例如，自我效能和积极重评）和享受可能对 COVID-19 等大规模灾害下的心理健康产生影响。心理弹性的综合情感调节框架提出，评估努力调节情感，进而预测积极的短期后果和更好的心理健康。这项两波研究是在香港长时间、高强度的 COVID-19 控制规则期间进行的，考察了（1）积极应对过程（即自我效能和积极重评）（T1，2021 年 3 月至 8 月）与随后的精神症状（T2，2021 年 9 月至 2022 年 2 月）之间的前瞻性关联，以及（2）T2 享受在关联中的中介作用。路径分析显示，T1 自我效能和积极重评与 T2 精神症状呈负相关。T2 享受部分中介了 T1 自我效能的作用，但完全中介了 T1 积极重评的作用。自我效能可能与心理健康有更持续的直接积极关联，而积极重评的好处可能需要随着时间的推移通过享受来催化。我们的研究为情感调节框架的概念原则提供了具体例证。
