This study examined the effects of psychological (life satisfaction, depression, social support) and familial factors (the size of family, family structure, education levels of parents) on first-year university students’ positive orientation. Positive orientation is an important element of life balance and expresses the positivity and attitudes of individuals towards life and themselves. A multiple regression analysis was conducted to determine the extent to which psychological and familial factors predicted PO. The results indicated that the model was significant and psychological and familial factors accounted for 44% of the variation in PO. Life satisfaction had the strongest and positive contribution to the PO. The perceived social support and depression level had the second and third highest contributions to the PO score, respectively. Findings showed that students raised in a matriarchal family had higher PO score than students raised in a patriarchal family. Also, having a single-parent family resulted in lower PO score than having a nuclear family.

心理和家庭因素是大一新生积极取向的预测因素

这项研究研究了心理（生活满意度，抑郁，社会支持）和家庭因素（家庭规模，家庭结构，父母的教育水平）对一年级大学生积极取向的影响。积极取向是生活平衡的重要组成部分，表达了个人对生活和自己的积极态度。进行了多元回归分析，以确定心理和家庭因素预测PO的程度。结果表明，该模型具有重要意义，心理和家庭因素占PO变异的44％。生活满意度是对PO的最强烈和积极的贡献。感知的社会支持和抑郁水平分别对PO得分贡献第二和第三高。研究结果表明，在家长制家庭中成长的学生的PO得分高于在家长制家庭中成长的学生。同样，拥有单亲家庭比拥有核心家庭的PO得分更低。
