Life satisfaction is a key index of well-being, yet few studies have examined its role as a protective factor in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The current study expands the research in this area through an examination of the role of life satisfaction in the relationship between perceived stress and negative indices of mental health. Participants were university students (N = 322) who completed the Perceived Stress Scale, the Satisfaction with Life Scale, and short forms of the trait scale of the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, the Center for Epidemiological Depression Scale, and the Beck Hopelessness Scale. The results indicate that life satisfaction had a health-sustaining effect on indices of well-being. It also moderated the relationship between perceived stress, on the one hand, and anxiety and hopelessness, on the other hand. Further, life satisfaction played a partial mediating role in the relationship between perceived stress and indices of mental health. The findings suggest that life satisfaction could be a protective factor in the context of stressful life events. Cultivating life satisfaction through mindfulness training and the enhancement of gratitude could potentially sustain mental health.
生活满意度是幸福的关键指标，但很少有研究考察其在新冠疫情背景下作为保护因素的作用。本研究通过考察生活满意度在感知压力与心理健康负面指标之间关系中的作用，扩展了该领域的研究。参与者为大学生（N = 322），他们完成了感知压力量表、生活满意度量表，以及斯皮尔伯格状态-特质焦虑量表特质量表简版、流行病学研究中心抑郁量表和贝克绝望量表。结果表明，生活满意度对幸福指标具有健康维持作用。它还调节了一方面感知压力与另一方面焦虑和绝望之间的关系。此外，生活满意度在感知压力与心理健康指标之间的关系中起部分中介作用。研究结果表明，生活满意度可能是压力性生活事件背景下的一个保护因素。通过正念训练和增强感恩来培养生活满意度可能有助于维持心理健康。
