It is important to determine the individual factors that cause the differentiation of negative reactions of individuals due to epidemics. The purpose of this study is to investigate the moderating role of a sedentary lifestyle and the mediating role of fear of COVID-19 on the relationship between rumination and life satisfaction. Intense rumination is known to have a negative impact on individuals' life satisfaction levels. Very little is known about variables that may mediate and moderate this relationship.
The study was conducted with staff members of five-star accommodation establishments in Turkey. Data were collected with a quantitative research method via questionnaires, completed by 386 full-time employees.
The results show that rumination negatively affects life satisfaction, and fear of COVID-19 has a mediating role between rumination and life satisfaction. In addition, the study concluded that a sedentary lifestyle moderated the indirect effect of rumination on life satisfaction through fear of COVID-19. This finding indicates that the negative impact of rumination on life satisfaction, mediated by fear of COVID-19, decreased, as the active lifestyle level of employees increased.
The results indicate the importance of active lifestyles in reducing negative impacts of the fear of being infected with a disease during times of crisis such as outbreaks and ruminative thoughts on lifestyle. The findings of this study provide substantial contributions with respect to how outbreak-related negative reactions occur and differ.
确定导致个体因疫情产生不同负面反应的个体因素很重要。本研究的目的是探讨久坐不动的生活方式的调节作用以及对新冠病毒的恐惧在沉思与生活满意度之间关系中的中介作用。众所周知，强烈的沉思会对个体的生活满意度水平产生负面影响。对于可能调节和中介这种关系的变量，人们了解甚少。
该研究以土耳其五星级住宿场所的工作人员为对象。通过问卷调查采用定量研究方法收集数据，由386名全职员工完成。
结果表明，沉思对生活满意度有负面影响，对新冠病毒的恐惧在沉思和生活满意度之间起中介作用。此外，研究得出结论，久坐不动的生活方式调节了沉思通过对新冠病毒的恐惧对生活满意度产生的间接影响。这一发现表明，随着员工积极生活方式水平的提高，由对新冠病毒的恐惧介导的沉思对生活满意度的负面影响会降低。
结果表明，在疫情爆发等危机时期，积极的生活方式对于减少对感染疾病的恐惧和沉思性思维对生活方式的负面影响具有重要意义。本研究结果为与疫情相关的负面反应如何发生及存在差异提供了重要贡献。
