Abstract

This research explored the relations between compassionate love (CL) for a partner, love satisfaction, commitment, and life satisfaction, and further aimed to scrutinize whether the relation between CL for a romantic partner and satisfaction with life was mediated by satisfaction with love life and commitment. The participants were 191 Angolan college students (50 % women; aged 18–34 years, M = 24.94; SD = 3.88). They answered scales to measure compassionate love, love satisfaction, commitment, and life satisfaction. Correlation, regression, and mediation analyses were performed to test the hypotheses. As expected, findings showed that CL for a partner and satisfaction with life were significantly and positively correlated. Furthermore, the results also indicated that love satisfaction and commitment fully mediated the relation between CL for a partner and satisfaction with life. The results afford insight into the relationships of compassionate love on satisfaction with life. Suggestions for future research are highlighted.

安哥拉大学生慈悲爱与生活满意度的关系：爱情生活满意度和承诺的中介作用

本研究探讨了对伴侣的同情之爱、爱情满意度、承诺和生活满意度之间的关系，并进一步探讨了对伴侣的同情之爱与生活满意度之间的关系是否被爱情生活满意度和承诺所中介。参与者为191名安哥拉大学生(50% %为女性；18-34岁，M = 24.94；Sd = 3.88)。他们回答了衡量富有同情心的爱、爱的满意度、承诺和生活满意度的量表。采用相关分析、回归分析和中介分析来检验假设。正如预期的那样，研究结果显示，伴侣的CL与生活满意度显著正相关。此外，研究结果还表明，爱情满意度和承诺完全中介了伴侣的语言学习与生活满意度之间的关系。研究结果让我们深入了解了富有同情心的爱与生活满意度之间的关系。并对今后的研究提出了建议。
