Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic was particularly impactful on sojourners, absent from their families and unable to return home. This study explores how spirituality may impact self-esteem and how this may affect thriving during such a challenging time. Specifically, adopting a positive psychology framework, we expected higher/lower levels of spirituality would result in higher/lower levels of daily self-esteem, which in turn would result in higher/lower levels of daily thriving. We measured these daily fluctuations over a 9-day period by using a diary study. Results supported our hypothesized model. These findings extend our understanding of the role of spirituality during COVID-19 pandemic.

增强 COVID-19 期间的茁壮成长：灵性在促进旅居者自尊方面的作用

COVID-19 大流行对远离家人、无法回家的寄居者的影响尤为严重。本研究探讨了灵性如何影响自尊，以及在这样一个充满挑战的时期，灵性如何影响他们的茁壮成长。具体来说，通过采用积极心理学框架，我们预计较高/较低的灵性水平将导致较高/较低的日常自尊水平，进而导致较高/较低的日常茁壮成长水平。我们通过一项日记研究，测量了 9 天内的日常波动情况。结果支持了我们的假设模型。这些研究结果扩展了我们对 COVID-19 大流行期间精神作用的理解。
