The Mediating Effect of Stress Coping and Benefit-Finding in the Relationship between Optimism and Psychological Well-Being: Focused on Perceived Controllability of Adverse Events

Abstract

The present study was to examine how optimism influences psychological well-being through perceived controllability of adverse events. For this purpose, we investigated whether the mediation effects of stress coping and benefit-finding on the relation between optimism and psychological well-being were conditional on the perceived controllability of adverse events. For those experiencing controllable adversity, active stress coping mediated the relation between optimism and psychological well-being. However, for those experiencing uncontrollable adversity, benefit-finding mediated the relation between optimism and psychological well-being. The noteworthy finding was that mediation variables on the relation between optimism and psychological well-being varied depending on perceived controllability of adversity. Findings of the present study suggest that counseling programs designed to improve adolescents’ adaption to uncontrollable adverse events need to encourage them to find benefit from an experiencing adversity.
