The current study aimed to investigate the relationship between postgraduates' time management disposition and mental health. As such, it constructed a moderated mediation model to examine the mediating role of life satisfaction on the relationship between graduate students' time management disposition and mental health and examine whether this role was moderated by core self-evaluations.
455 postgraduates were surveyed by the Adolescence Time Management Disposition Inventory, the Adolescent Students' Life Satisfaction Scale, the revised version of the Chinese Core Self-Evaluation Scale, and the revised version of the Chinese General Health Questionnaire.
Time management disposition, life satisfaction, core self-evaluation, and mental health were significantly correlated. Time management disposition indirectly affected mental health through the mediating effect of life satisfaction. Core self-evaluation moderated the second half of the mediating effect of time management disposition on mental health via life satisfaction.
The findings reveal the mechanism between time management disposition and mental health, which will help school educators to guide postgraduates in developing good time management disposition and improving life satisfaction and core self-evaluation, and thus improve their mental health.
本研究旨在探讨研究生时间管理倾向与心理健康之间的关系。为此，构建了一个中介调节模型，以检验研究生时间管理倾向与心理健康之间的关系中生活满意度的中介作用，并检验核心自我评价是否调节了这种作用。
采用青少年时间管理倾向量表、青少年学生生活满意度量表、修订版中国核心自我评价量表和修订版中国一般健康问卷对 455 名研究生进行调查。
时间管理倾向、生活满意度、核心自我评价和心理健康呈显著相关。时间管理倾向通过生活满意度的中介作用间接影响心理健康。核心自我评价通过生活满意度对时间管理倾向与心理健康关系的中介作用的后半部分进行调节。
研究结果揭示了时间管理倾向与心理健康之间的关系机制，有助于学校教育者指导研究生养成良好的时间管理倾向，提高生活满意度和核心自我评价，从而改善心理健康。
