Regulatory Emotional Self-efficacy as Mediator of the Relationship Between Neuroticism, Conscientiousness and Flourishing

Abstract

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to explore whether regulatory emotional self-efficacy mediated the relationship between neuroticism, conscientiousness and flourishing of college students. The results indicated that: 1) There was negative correlation between neuroticism and the self-efficacy in expressing positive affect, the self-efficacy in regulating negative affect, and flourishing. 2) Conscientiousness positively correlated with the self-efficacy in expressing positive affect, the self-efficacy in regulating negative affect and flourishing. 3) There was positive correlation between flourishing and the self-efficacy in expressing positive affect, the self-efficacy in regulating negative affect. 4) Neuroticism influenced flourishing through the mediation of regulatory emotional self-efficacy. At the same time, conscientiousness not only had direct effect on flourishing, but also influenced flourishing through the mediation of regulatory emotional self-efficacy.

Key words: neuroticism, conscientiousness, flourishing, regulatory emotional self-efficacy

摘要： 以412名大学生为被试，运用问卷调查法探讨情绪调节自我效能感在神经质、尽责性与心盛之间的中介作用。结果表明，（1）神经质与表达积极情绪效能、调节消极情绪效能、心盛呈负相关；（2）尽责性与表达积极情绪效能、调节消极情绪效能、心盛呈正相关；（3）表达积极情绪效能、调节消极情绪效能与心盛呈正相关；（4）神经质通过情绪调节自我效能感的中介作用间接影响心盛，同时尽责性不仅直接影响心盛，还能通过情绪调节自我效能感的中介作用间接影响心盛。
