Abstract

Purpose: The continuous spread of the epidemic has inflicted serious harm upon individual’s mental well-being, and effective coping mechanisms are associated with positive mental health outcomes. Prosocial behavior and a sense of meaning in life can enhance individuals’ subjective well-being, which can subsequently positively impact their mental health. Thus, in the context of epidemic prevention and control, this study investigates the relationship between the meaning in life, prosocial behavior, and coping styles of outstanding physical education students and the impact on their mental health.
Methods: The study involved a questionnaire survey on 498 outstanding physical education students, consisting of 297 boys (mean age = 13.16) and 201 girls (mean age = 12.87 years). Subsequently, the data was analyzed using the mediating effect and Bootstrap tests.
Results: The coping style positively predicted the meaning in life (β=0.294) and prosocial behavior (β=0.293). Conversely, mental health was predicted in a negative direction (β=– 0.494). Mental health negatively predicted prosocial behavior (β=– 0.810), although prosocial behavior positively predicted meaning in life (β=0.644). Finally, prosocial behavior negatively predicted mental health (β=– 0.513). Additionally, the interplay between prosocial behavior and meaning in life is established in terms of both the individual and chain mediating roles.
Conclusion: This study demonstrates that coping styles during a normalized epidemic prevention and control situation directly impact the mental health of Shanghai’s outstanding physical education students. Additionally, these coping styles indirectly influence mental health through the mediating effects of meaning in life and prosocial behaviors. Furthermore, meaning in life and prosocial behaviors act as chain mediators in this relationship.

Keywords: coping style, mental health, meaning in life, prosocial behavior

正常化流行期间应对方式对上海体育特长生心理健康的影响：生活意义与亲社会行为的连锁中介作用

目的：疫情的持续蔓延对个人的心理健康造成了严重伤害，而有效的应对机制与积极的心理健康结果相关。亲社会行为和生活意义感可以提高个人的主观幸福感，进而对其心理健康产生积极影响。因此，在流行病防控的背景下，本研究探讨了优秀体育教育专业学生的人生意义、亲社会行为和应对方式之间的关系以及对其心理健康的影响：本研究对 498 名体育特长生进行了问卷调查，其中男生 297 人（平均年龄为 13.16 岁），女生 201 人（平均年龄为 12.87 岁）。随后，利用中介效应和 Bootstrap 检验对数据进行了分析：应对方式对人生意义（β=0.294）和亲社会行为（β=0.293）有正向预测作用。相反，心理健康对人生意义（β=0.294）和亲社会行为（β=0.293）的预测是负向的（β=- 0.494）。心理健康对亲社会行为有负向预测作用（β=- 0.810），但亲社会行为对人生意义有正向预测作用（β=0.644）。最后，亲社会行为对心理健康有负面预测作用（β=- 0.513）。此外，亲社会行为与人生意义之间的相互作用还体现在个体和连锁中介作用上：本研究表明，疫情防控常态化过程中的应对方式直接影响上海市优秀体育特长生的心理健康。此外，这些应对方式还通过生命意义和亲社会行为的中介作用间接影响心理健康。关键词：应对方式心理健康生命意义亲社会行为
