本研究探讨了目标调整能力，应对和主观幸福感的指标之间的关联，在2波的数据，从个人谁提供照顾的家庭成员与精神疾病。我们假设目标调整能力通过促进应对压力来预测更高水平的主观幸福感。结果表明，目标脱离与有效的护理特定的应对（例如，较少的自责和物质使用）。目标再参与也与有效的护理特定的应对（例如，积极的重构），但在同一时间，它预测使用不太有效的策略（例如，发泄和自我分心）。此外，目标脱离预测较低水平的照顾者的负担和抑郁症状和缓冲的纵向影响照顾者的负担增加抑郁症状。相反，目标再参与预测了更高水平的照顾者负担和生活目的，并缓冲了照顾者负担和抑郁症状之间的横截面关联。最后，有效的（和不太有用的）护理具体的应对统计解释了适应性（和适应不良）的影响，目标调整能力对参与者的福祉。
This study examined the associations between goal adjustment capacities, coping, and indicators of subjective well-being in 2 waves of data from individuals who provide care for a family member with mental illness. We hypothesized that goal adjustment capacities would predict higher levels of subjective well-being by facilitating coping with caregiving stress. Results showed that goal disengagement was associated with effective care-specific coping (eg, less self-blame and substance use). Goal reengagement was also associated with effective care-specific coping (eg, positive reframing), but at the same time it predicted the use of less effective strategies (eg, venting and self-distraction). Moreover, goal disengagement predicted lower levels of caregiver burden and depressive symptoms and buffered the longitudinal effect of caregiver burden on increases in depressive symptoms. Goal reengagement, by contrast, predicted higher levels of caregiver burden and purpose in life and buffered the cross-sectional association between caregiver burden and depressive symptoms. Finally, effective (and less useful) care-specific coping statistically explained the adaptive (and maladaptive) effects of goal adjustment capacities on participants' well-being.
