The present study mainly focused on college students amidst the COVID-19 outbreak and aimed to develop and examine a moderated mediation model between access to epidemic information and life satisfaction. Friendship quality as a moderator, and perceived stress as a mediator. A sample of 1032 college students participated in this study and completed questionnaires regarding access to epidemic information, perceived stress, friendship quality, and life satisfaction. Findings indicated that 1) access to epidemic information was strongly related to life satisfaction; 2) perceived stress acts as a mediator in the positive relationship between access to epidemic information and life satisfaction; 3) friendship quality moderated the relationship between access to epidemic information and perceived stress as well as perceived stress and life satisfaction, and such that there was a stronger association between access to epidemic information and perceived stress for college students with high friendship quality. But the relationship between perceived stress and life satisfaction became weaker for college students with high friendship quality. The results illuminate the mechanism to theoretical and practical implications for improving college students’ life satisfaction during the pandemic.

本研究主要关注 COVID-19 爆发期间的大学生，旨在开发和检验流行信息获取与生活满意度之间的调节中介模型。友谊质量作为调节者，感知压力作为中介。1032 名大学生的样本参与了这项研究，并完成了关于获取流行病信息、感知压力、友谊质量和生活满意度的问卷。研究结果表明：1）获取流行病信息与生活满意度密切相关；2）感知压力在获取流行病信息和生活满意度之间的正向关系中起中介作用；3）友谊质量调节了流行病信息获取与感知压力以及感知压力与生活满意度之间的关系，并且对于具有高友谊质量的大学生来说，获得流行病信息和感知压力之间存在更强的关联。但友谊质量高的大学生感知压力与生活满意度之间的关系变弱。研究结果阐明了该机制对提高大流行期间大学生生活满意度的理论和实践意义。
