Abstract

The global pandemic has caused a great problem to the psychological well-being of people around the world. Iran is one of the most affected countries in pandemic situation. Resilience is the most common outcome after life-threatening events. In fact, studies have proven that positive emotions such as gratitude and resilience were able to improve well-being. This study used the theory of broaden-and-build to explore the association of gratitude, resilience, and well-being among Iranian adults during the pandemic. The convenience sampling method was utilized to recruit 441 Iranian adults aged between 18 to 35 years. The data was analyzed using Structural Equation Modelling using SmartPLS. The results supported the role of gratitude and resilience in improving the well-being of Iranian adults. Besides, the results supported the role of resilience as the moderator for the effect of gratitude on well-being. The findings of this study may have implications for mental health professionals and policymakers to promote gratitude and resilience intervention to increase positive emotions and well-being in young adults in this time of need and help society to be prepared for challenging times of adversity in the future.

伊朗2019冠状病毒病大流行期间的感恩与幸福:韧性的调节作用

全球大流行给世界各国人民的心理健康造成了很大的问题。伊朗是受疫情影响最严重的国家之一。适应力是生命威胁事件后最常见的结果。事实上，研究已经证明，感恩和适应能力等积极情绪能够提高幸福感。本研究使用“扩大与构建”理论来探索大流行期间伊朗成年人感恩、恢复力和幸福感之间的关系。采用方便抽样方法，招募年龄在18 ~ 35岁之间的伊朗成年人441人。数据分析使用结构方程模型使用SmartPLS。研究结果支持了感恩和适应力在改善伊朗成年人福祉方面的作用。此外，研究结果支持弹性在感恩对幸福感的影响中起调节作用。本研究的发现可能对心理健康专业人员和政策制定者促进感恩和弹性干预，以增加年轻人在这一需要时期的积极情绪和幸福感，并帮助社会为未来的逆境挑战做好准备。
