Abstract

Prior research suggests a potential moderated mediation effect between self-efficacy and psychological well-being. Based on the Meaning Making Model and the Broaden-and-Build Theory, this study examines the relationship between self-efficacy and psychological well-being in the moderated mediation perspective of affect and meaning-making in coronary heart disease patients. The questionnaires measuring self-efficacy, psychological well-being, affect, and meaning-making were used to collect data from one hundred and fifty six patients (73 women and 83 men) who were suffering from coronary heart disease. The patients had a history of coronary heart disease in the previous .1‒7.9 years and were aged 47‒82. Findings demonstrated that meaning-making mediated the indirect relationship between self-efficacy and psychological well-being. In addition, the moderated mediation effect of positive affect, but not of negative affect was significant. Positive affect moderated the indirect effect between self-efficacy and psychological well-being through meaning-making; the indirect effect was stronger when positive affect was high as opposed to low. The results suggest the interplay of affective and meaning-making processes in the relationship between self-efficacy and well-being.

摘要

先前的研究表明，自我效能和心理健康之间可能存在潜在的调节作用。基于意义形成模型和拓宽与构建理论，本研究从适度调解的角度研究冠心病患者的自我效能与心理健康之间的关系。用来测量自我效能，心理健康，情感和意义的问卷被用来收集来自156名患有冠心病的患者（73名女性和83名男性）的数据。患者在过去的.1‒7.9年内有冠心病病史，年龄47‒82。研究结果表明，意义的产生介导了自我效能与心理健康之间的间接关系。另外，积极影响的中度调解作用而非消极影响的调解作用显着。积极的情感通过意义的形成调节了自我效能与心理健康之间的间接影响；当积极影响高而不是低时，间接影响更强。结果表明，情感和意义形成过程在自我效能感与幸福感之间的相互作用。
