Depending on its duration, stress can be divided into chronic and acute stress, both of which can be detrimental to an individual's mental health. Psychological suzhi may act as a protective factor that buffers the adverse effects of stress. This study aimed to explore the moderating role of psychological suzhi in the relationship between these two types of stress and mental health based on a dual-factor model of mental health. Study 1 explored the moderating role of psychological suzhi on the relationship between chronic stress and mental health using the Adolescent Self-Rating Life Events Check List, College Student Psychological Suzhi Scale Brief Mental Health Version, Satisfaction With Life Scale, and 12-item General Health Questionnaire to investigate 919 Chinese college students. A hierarchical regression model was used to examine the moderating effects. Study 2 examined the moderating role of psychological suzhi on the relationship between acute stress and mental health. Participants ( = 56) were classified into high ( = 30) and low ( = 26) psychological suzhi groups based on the Psychological Suzhi Scale. They completed the Trier Social Stress Test for Groups and a specific control condition, and their state anxiety and happiness levels were assessed. Data were analyzed using a mixed-design repeated-measures ANOVA. The results of Study 1 revealed that psychological suzhi moderated the influence of chronic stress on the negative indicator of mental health (psychological symptoms) (β = -0.18, t = -6.90, p < 0.001). The results of Study 2 showed that psychological suzhi moderated the effect of acute stress on the negative indicator of mental health (state anxiety) [F (1, 54) = 4.79, p < 0.05, η = 0.08]. Psychological suzhi can moderate the influence of both chronic and acute stress on the negative indicators of college students' mental health but cannot moderate the influence on the positive indicators of mental health.
根据持续时间，压力可分为慢性压力和急性压力，这两种压力都可能对个体的心理健康有害。心理素质可能作为一种保护因素，缓冲压力的不利影响。本研究旨在基于心理健康的双因素模型，探讨心理素质在这两种压力与心理健康关系中的调节作用。研究1使用青少年自评生活事件量表、大学生心理素质量表简版心理健康量表、生活满意度量表和12项一般健康问卷，对919名中国大学生进行调查，探讨心理素质对慢性压力与心理健康关系的调节作用。采用层次回归模型检验调节效应。研究2考察了心理素质对急性压力与心理健康关系的调节作用。根据心理素质量表，将56名参与者分为高心理素质组（n = 30）和低心理素质组（n = 26）。他们完成了团体特里尔社会压力测试和一个特定的对照条件，并评估了他们的状态焦虑和幸福水平。使用混合设计重复测量方差分析对数据进行分析。研究1的结果表明，心理素质调节了慢性压力对心理健康负面指标（心理症状）的影响（β = -0.18，t = -6.90，p < 0.001）。研究2的结果表明，心理素质调节了急性压力对心理健康负面指标（状态焦虑）的影响[F（1, 54）= 4.79，p < 0.05，η = 0.08]。心理素质可以调节慢性和急性压力对大学生心理健康负面指标的影响，但不能调节对心理健康正面指标的影响。
