College students worldwide are encountering significant mental health challenges and positive psychological approaches are effective in addressing these issues. Psychological capital as a construct having origin from organizational psychology plays an important role in young people's education and mental health. The dimensions of psychological capital and spiritual well-being play an important role in manifesting emotional experiences, both positive and negative, among young individuals. In the contemporary scenario, where social and economic factors act as deciding factors in deciphering and influencing emotions, there is a dire need to focus on the positive developmental aspects of human behavior. We, thus, explore the interconnection between psychological capital and spiritual well-being and quantitatively investigate how both of them influence the emotional experiences of college students (N = 214). Results from the regression analysis suggest that psychological capital predicts positive emotions, whereas spiritual well-being mediates this relationship. One of the practical implications of our results suggest that these three variables have good interventional potential for well-being promotion studies.
世界各地的大学生都面临着重大的心理健康挑战，积极心理学方法在解决这些问题方面很有效。心理资本作为一个源自组织心理学的概念，在年轻人的教育和心理健康中起着重要作用。心理资本和精神幸福感的维度在年轻人展现积极和消极情绪体验方面发挥着重要作用。在当代社会，社会和经济因素是解读和影响情绪的决定性因素，因此迫切需要关注人类行为的积极发展方面。因此，我们探讨心理资本与精神幸福感之间的相互联系，并定量研究它们如何影响大学生（N = 214）的情绪体验。回归分析结果表明，心理资本预测积极情绪，而精神幸福感在这种关系中起中介作用。我们研究结果的一个实际意义是，这三个变量在促进幸福感的研究中有良好的干预潜力。
