Abstract

Abstract: Temperament is related to well-being. Establishing mediators of this relationship, especially mediators which can be influenced through psychological interventions, may contribute to tailoring these interventions to people’s needs determined by temperament. Psychological flexibility may be considered such a mediator. This study aims to examine the relationships between temperament traits and structures, satisfaction with life, and psychological flexibility, with the latter as a possible mediator of the relationship between temperament structures and life satisfaction. 538 participants (18–93 years old) took part in the study. They filled a set of self-reported questionnaires. Psychological flexibility explained a significant part of the variance in life satisfaction above and beyond temperament traits. People with harmonized temperament structures and higher stimulation processing capabilities (sanguine) exhibited higher psychological flexibility and satisfaction with life. Three temperament structures: phlegmatic, choleric, and melancholic in comparison to sanguine were found to be linked to lower satisfaction with life through lower psychological flexibility. The results suggest a meaningful role of stimulation processing capabilities in the development of both psychological flexibility and satisfaction with life.

气质、生活满意度与心理弹性的作用

摘要：气质与幸福有关。建立这种关系的中介，特别是可以通过心理干预影响的中介，可能有助于根据人们的气质决定的需求调整这些干预措施。心理灵活性可以被认为是这样一个中介。本研究旨在考察气质特征与结构、生活满意度和心理灵活性之间的关系，后者可能是气质结构与生活满意度之间关系的中介。538名参与者（18-93岁）参加了这项研究。他们填写了一组自我报告的问卷。心理灵活性在很大程度上解释了生活满意度在气质特征之外的差异。具有协调的气质结构和较高的刺激处理能力（乐观）的人表现出较高的心理灵活性和对生活的满意度。研究发现，与多血相比，三种气质结构：痰质、胆汁质和忧郁症与较低的心理灵活性导致对生活的满意度较低有关。研究结果表明，刺激处理能力在心理灵活性和生活满意度的发展中发挥着重要作用。
