Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine (a) to what extent demographic covariates, foundational and emerging positive psychology traits (FEPPTs), and PERMA uniquely predict college life adjustment, health-related quality of life (HRQOL), and life satisfaction of student military veterans; (b) PERMA as a happiness and well-being model for college life adjustment, HRQOL, and life satisfaction among student veterans; and (c) FEPPTs as predictors of PERMA. In addition, we tested whether total PERMA scores mediate the relationship between service-connected disability and college adjustment. A total of 205 student veterans responded to an online survey. Results revealed that demographic covariates (e.g., service-connected disability), FEPPTs (e.g., optimism), and PERMA (e.g., positive emotion) significantly accounted for college life adjustment, HRQOL, and life satisfaction of student veterans. In addition, a mediation analysis revealed that PERMA partially mediated the relationship between service-connected disability and college life adjustment of student veterans. The results of this study provide empirical supports for the use of PERMA as a comprehensive well-being model of college life adjustment for student veterans.

乐观、希望、韧性、应对灵活性、安全依恋和PERMA对退伍军人大学生活适应的幸福感模型评价:层次回归分析

本研究的目的是检验（a）人口统计学协变量、基础和新出现的积极心理特征（FEPPT）以及PERMA在多大程度上唯一预测大学生活适应、健康相关生活质量（HRQOL）和退伍军人学生的生活满意度；（b） PERMA作为一种幸福感和幸福感模型，用于衡量退伍军人学生的大学生活适应、HRQOL和生活满意度；以及（c）作为PERMA的预测因子的FEPPT。此外，我们还测试了PERMA总分是否在服务相关残疾和大学适应之间起中介作用。共有205名退伍军人参加了一项在线调查。结果显示，人口统计学协变量（如服务相关残疾）、FEPPT（如乐观主义）和PERMA（如积极情绪）显著影响了退伍军人学生的大学生活适应、HRQOL和生活满意度。此外，一项中介分析显示，PERMA在一定程度上中介了退伍军人学生的服务相关残疾与大学生活适应之间的关系。本研究的结果为使用PERMA作为退伍军人学生大学生活调整的综合幸福感模型提供了实证支持。

期刊介绍： Rehabilitation Counseling Bulletin (RCB) publishes articles on rehabilitation counseling with a major emphasis on data-based research reports, although other types of contributions to professional knowledge in rehabilitation counseling will be considered. Examples include articles that explain an innovative technique or application, point/ counterpoint debates on a current controversy challenging the profession, or insightful essays on an important issue. Contributions of these kinds may be considered for a special section of RCB. Article topics cover a wide range—from ethical dilemmas related to counseling clients with HIV/AIDS to clinical problem solving in micro–case management.
