2019冠状病毒病爆发导致个人的日常习惯发生根本性转变，对他们的主观幸福感构成挑战。了解COVID-19对主观幸福感的影响，对于制定公共政策以应对卫生紧急时期的精神健康至关重要。生活满意度的下降可能不仅是由于暴露于日常的负面情绪，也是由于绝望，恐惧和避免社会交往。我们在541名西班牙成年人的样本中研究了（1）对COVID-19爆发的反应，以及（2）这些反应在希望和社交恐惧症与生活满意度之间的中介作用，通过不同程度的积极和消极影响。调节中介分析表明，希望和社交焦虑通过信息对生活满意度的条件性间接影响取决于被试具有高积极情感和低消极情感。情感似乎是一种调节个人对COVID-19的看法对其生活满意度的影响的机制。那些具有高度积极影响的人可能会看到“总体情况”，并寻找足够的信息，因为他们避免关注问题和排除预防行为的特定信息。拥有积极的影响可能有助于个人在COVID-19爆发期间采取信息处理策略，这将提高他们的生活满意度。
The COVID-19 outbreak entailed radical shifts to individuals' daily habits that challenged their subjective well-being (SWB). Knowledge about the impact of COVID-19 on SWB is paramount for developing public policies to tackle mental health during health emergency periods. Decreases in life satisfaction are likely not only due to exposure to daily negative emotions but also due to hopelessness, fear, and avoidance of social interactions. We examined in a sample of 541 Spanish adults (1) reactions to the COVID-19 outbreak and (2) the mediating role of these reactions in the associations of hope and social phobia with life satisfaction through different levels of positive and negative affect. A moderated mediation analysis showed that the conditional indirect effect of hope and social anxiety on life satisfaction through information depended on the participants' having high positive affect and low negative affect. Affect seems to be a mechanism that modulates the influence of individuals' perception about COVID-19 on their life satisfaction. Those with high positive affect might see the "general picture" and search for adequate information as they avoid focusing on the problem and on specific information that precludes preventive behaviors. Having a positive affect might help individuals to adopt information-processing strategies during the COVID-19 outbreak that will improve their life satisfaction.
