海峽兩岸大學生求意義的意志、心流與心理幸福感之關係：中介與多群組的分析

"Relationship among the Will to Meaning, Flow, and Psychological Well-Being of Cross-Strait College Students: An Analysis of Mediating Effects and Multiple Groups"

"本研究旨在調查兩岸大學生在求意義的意志、心流與心理幸福感彼此之關係，並以心流為中介變量，分析其在求意義的意志與心理幸福感間之中介效果。另以兩岸大學（大陸與臺灣）此一人口變量為調節變量，分析其在此三變量中彼此相關的調節效果。為完成此研究目的，採用已發表的量表，重新用驗證性因素分析（CFA）。CFA的樣本抽大陸與臺灣大學生各200人（N=400），驗證結果求意義的意志、心流與心理幸福感等三量表的基本適切度、整體適切度與內在結構適配度都可接受，因此，編成正式量表，另抽兩岸大學生1,401人（大陸701人，臺灣700人）。在量表資料分析上，分別考驗中介與多群組假設模式，先以AMOS 24.0執行，結果：發現資料非常態性，因此，改以適合非常態資料的Smart PLS3代之。分析結果顯示：兩岸大學生之求意義的意志、心流與心理幸福感之關係彼此有顯著的正向關聯，且心流在求意義的意志與心理幸福感之關係具有部分中介效果。此外，兩岸大學生（大陸與臺灣）在求意義的意志與心流此條徑路上具有調節效果。就此等結論，提出以下建議：提升大學生之求意義的意志、大學生做任何事應全神貫注、再深入探討求意義的意志與心理幸福感之間的中介因素、未來研究上應更深入探討兩岸的調節因素等建議。"

"This study analyzed (1) the relationship among the will to meaning, flow, and psychological well-being in Cross-straitcollege students; (2) the mediating effects of flow on the relationship between the will to meaning and psychological well-being;and (3) the moderating effects of Cross-strait college students. The conclusions of this study can serve as a reference in thepractice and study of improving the will to meaning, flow, and psychological well-being among Cross-strait college students.According to the literature, the will to meaning influences psychological well-being and flow, which also affectspsychological well-being. Therefore, the following three hypotheses were proposed:H1: The will to meaning and psychological well-being would be positively correlated in Cross-strait college students.H2: The will to meaning and flow would be positively correlated in Cross-strait college students.H3: Flow and psychological well-being would be positively correlated in Cross-strait college students.The analysis of the literature also indicated that flow plays a mediating role in the relationship between the will to meaningand psychological well-being in Cross-strait college students because, according to the core tenet of logotherapy, people canfreely choose the meaning of their life, and people are driven by the will to meaning. The meaning of life comprises the pursuitof meaning. Therefore, people fully devote themselves to their pursued goal, which may concern academics, a career, family, orthe committed pursuit of anything that improves their spirits. Regardless of the nature of the goal, it psychologically produces apeak or optimal experience; this is the perception of flow, and the will to meaning can advance the perception of flow. When ina state of heightened flow, an individual is fully engaged in an activity or work and is likely to feel a sense of accomplishment.This is consistent with the perception of psychological well-being, which is based on the theory of eudaimonia. This indicatesthat flow can increase the perception of psychological well-being. Therefore, H4 was proposed as follows: Flow would have amediating effect on the relationship between the will to meaning and psychological well-being in Cross-strait college students."
