Objective To explore the effect of psychological strengths on life satisfaction among university students, and to analyze the mediating roles of general self-efficacy and coping style.Methods A random sample of 913 undergraduates and postgraduates from a university in Zhejiang were enrolled, and completed an online questionnaire including Strengths Knowledge and Strength Use Scale (SKSUS), Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS), General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) and Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS). Then the mediating effect analysis was conducted using Bootstrapping method.Results ① Strength knowledge, strength use, task-oriented coping style and GSES scores were positively correlated with SWLS score (r=0.390, 0.522, 0.345, 0.500, P<0.01). ② Strength use, task-oriented coping style and general self-efficacy acted as mediators between strength knowledge and life satisfaction (the indirect effect was 0.387, accounting for 96.03% of the total effect). ③ Emotion-oriented coping style acted as mediator between strength knowledge, strength use and life satisfaction (the indirect effect was 0.011, accounting for 2.73% of the total effect).Conclusion Strength knowledge may affect life satisfaction of college students through the mediating effects of strength use, task-oriented coping style, emotion-oriented coping style and general self-efficacy. |
