Abstract

While leisure activities have been illustrated to enhance women’s psychological health, the study of leisure reading experiences and their impact on prenatal attachment has not been investigated to date. Addressing this research gap, a moderated mediation model is built to explain the indirect effects of leisure reading experiences on prenatal attachment through subjective vitality conditioned by the moderating role of optimism. 494 valid responses from pregnant women were obtained from obstetrical centers for testing the hypothesized model. The results indicated that subjective vitality fully mediates the relationship between hedonic experience and prenatal attachment, and also partially mediates the relationship between other leisure reading experiences (flow and transcendent) and prenatal attachment. In addition, the mediating effect was observed to be significant at higher levels of optimism. The proposed framework signifies novel contributions to the understanding of pregnant women’s mental health and their bond with the baby through leisure reading experiences.

摘要

虽然休闲活动已被证明可以增强女性的心理健康，但迄今为止尚未对休闲阅读体验及其对产前依恋的影响进行研究。针对这一研究空白，建立了一个有调节的中介模型来解释休闲阅读体验对产前依恋的间接影响，通过主观活力受到乐观的调节作用。从产科中心获得了来自孕妇的 494 份有效反应，用于测试假设模型。结果表明，主观活力完全中介了享乐体验与产前依恋的关系，也部分中介了其他休闲阅读体验（心流和超验）与产前依恋的关系。此外，在较高的乐观水平下，观察到中介效应显着。拟议的框架标志着通过休闲阅读体验了解孕妇的心理健康及其与婴儿的纽带的新贡献。
