Abstract

This study aimed to examine the relationship between psychological flexibility and ontological well-being among adults. The participants consisted of 477 adults aged 18 to 65 years (M = 25.84, SD = 7.62), recruited through convenience sampling. Data were collected using a demographic information form, the Psychological Flexibility Scale, and the Ontological Well-Being Scale. Pearson correlation analysis, multiple regression analysis, and independent samples t-tests were conducted to analyze the data. The results indicated that psychological flexibility was positively associated with ontological well-being. Furthermore, male participants and those who were married or in a romantic relationship reported higher levels of psychological flexibility and ontological well-being. Additionally, even after controlling for age, gender, relationship status, and socioeconomic status, the sub-dimensions of psychological flexibility significantly predicted ontological well-being. The strongest predictors of ontological well-being were the defusion, acceptance, and present-moment-awareness sub-dimensions of psychological flexibility, respectively. In conclusion, interventions aimed at enhancing psychological flexibility may contribute significantly to improving ontological well-being among adults.

成人心理弹性与本体幸福感的关系

本研究旨在探讨成人心理弹性与本体幸福感之间的关系。参与者包括477名18至65岁的成年人（M = 25.84, SD = 7.62），通过方便抽样招募。使用人口统计信息表、心理灵活性量表和本体幸福感量表收集数据。采用Pearson相关分析、多元回归分析和独立样本t检验对数据进行分析。结果表明，心理灵活性与本体幸福感呈正相关。此外，男性参与者和已婚或有恋爱关系的参与者报告了更高水平的心理灵活性和本体幸福感。此外，即使在控制了年龄、性别、关系状况和社会经济状况后，心理灵活性的子维度对本体论幸福感也有显著的预测作用。本体论幸福感的最强预测因子分别是心理灵活性的融合子维度、接受子维度和当下意识子维度。综上所述，旨在增强心理灵活性的干预措施可能对改善成年人的本体幸福感有显著的贡献。
