| description | ObjectiveTo 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.MethodsA 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.Results① 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）.ConclusionStrength 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. |
