The aim of the study was to explore the influence of gender, income, and religious beliefs on life satisfaction through affect and stress in families with and without mental illness. We examined variations depending on the presence of mental illness and minority status. Results indicated that the influence of gender, income, and religion on life satisfaction through affect and stress varied between families. Males with a family member with mental illness showed significant negative affect, while those without a family member with mental illness did not show gender differences in negative affect. Results also indicated that higher income did not significantly reduce negative affect in individuals with a family member with mental illness, regardless of minority status. Gender, income, and religious beliefs were not indirectly related to life satisfaction through affect and stress for individuals who had a family member with mental illness. These results are discussed, and clinical implications are offered.

该研究的目的是通过有或没有精神疾病的家庭的情感和压力，探索性别，收入和宗教信仰对生活满意度的影响。我们根据精神疾病的存在和少数群体的状况检查了差异。结果表明，性别，收入和宗教信仰对生活满意度的影响因家庭之间的影响和压力而异。患有精神疾病的家庭成员的男性表现出明显的负面影响，而没有精神疾病的家庭成员的男性则没有表现出性别差异。结果还表明，不论少数民族身高，高收入并不能显着减少患有精神疾病的家庭成员的负面影响。性别，收入，对于一个患有精神疾病的家庭成员，宗教信仰与通过情感和压力产生的生活满意度没有间接关系。讨论了这些结果，并提供了临床意义。
