Abstract

In recent years, research has noted the increasing prevalence of mental health problems among university students. The current mental health needs of the university population, along with the multitude of stressors they face, have increased the importance of examining their psychological well-being and determining the personal resources that effectively promote it. In this context, the present research aims to analyze the roles of psychological capital (PsyCap) and coping strategies as personal resources that are significantly related to the psychological well-being (PWB) of university students. Specifically, the mediating roles of various coping strategies (both adaptive and maladaptive) in the relationship between PsyCap and PWB are explored. The study involves 391 university students from Spain. The results show partial mediation effects of adaptive coping strategies (cognitive restructuring and social support) on the relationship between PsyCap and PWB. Likewise, PsyCap is shown to be a direct positive predictor of adaptive coping strategies and PWB, as well as a direct negative predictor of maladaptive coping strategies (self-criticism). Therefore, it is concluded that PsyCap and some adaptive coping strategies serve as valuable personal resources that predict PWB in university students. PsyCap is also associated with a lower tendency to engage in maladaptive coping strategies, such as self-criticism. Similarly, the use of cognitive restructuring and/or social support is related to high levels of PWB among university students.

大学生心理健康的个人资源:心理资本和应对策略的作用。
近年来,研究发现大学生的心理健康问题越来越普遍。当前大学生群体的心理健康需求,以及他们所面临的众多压力,增加了研究他们的心理健康并确定有效促进其心理健康的个人资源的重要性。在此背景下,本研究旨在分析心理资本(PsyCap)和应对策略作为与大学生心理健康(PWB)显著相关的个人资源所发挥的作用。具体而言,本研究探讨了各种应对策略(包括适应性应对策略和适应不良应对策略)在心理资本(PsyCap)与心理健康(PWB)之间关系中的中介作用。这项研究涉及西班牙的 391 名大学生。研究结果表明,适应性应对策略(认知重组和社会支持)对心理上限和心理创伤后应激障碍之间的关系具有部分中介效应。同样,PsyCap 被证明是适应性应对策略和 PWB 的直接正向预测因子,也是不适应性应对策略(自我批评)的直接负向预测因子。因此,可以得出结论认为,心理上限和一些适应性应对策略是预测大学生情绪障碍的宝贵个人资源。心理适应能力还与较低的适应性应对策略(如自我批评)倾向相关。同样,认知重组和/或社会支持的使用也与大学生的高水平PWB有关。
