Abstract

Abstract Previous research demonstrated that both spirituality and curiosity were positively associated with life satisfaction. However, limited research investigated the relationship between spirituality and curiosity. One hundred eight Chinese Christian teachers participated in an online questionnaire that measured their spirituality, curiosity, and life satisfaction. Results showed that three dimensions of curiosity, namely, joyous exploration, deprivation sensitivity, and stress tolerance, were significantly associated with spirituality. Deprivation sensitivity was found to be a significant competitive mediator (suppressor) of the relation between spirituality and life satisfaction, indicating the anxiety embedded in deprivation sensitivity might interfere with Christian teachers’ life satisfaction. The finding provides support for the importance of fostering psychological capital and developmental assets for Christian teachers’ positive development.

灵性与好奇心对中国基督教教师生活满意度的影响研究

以往的研究表明，灵性和好奇心都与生活满意度呈正相关。然而，有限的研究调查了灵性和好奇心之间的关系。一百零八名中国基督教教师参与了一份在线调查问卷，测量他们的灵性、好奇心和生活满意度。结果表明，好奇心的三个维度，即快乐探索，剥夺敏感性和压力耐受性，与灵性显著相关。剥夺敏感性是灵性与生活满意度关系的显著竞争性中介(抑制因子)，表明剥夺敏感性中嵌入的焦虑可能会干扰基督教教师的生活满意度。本研究结果支持心理资本与发展性资产的培育对基督教教师正向发展的重要性。
