背景新出现的证据表明，持有特定的压力心态对人们的健康和性能下stress.Purpose有利的影响-目的-本研究的目的是检查的过程中，内隐和外显的压力心态与健康和性能相关的结果。具体而言，我们提出了一个压力信念模型，其中躯体对压力的反应和应对行为介导了压力心态对结果的影响。（N = 218，n = 144名女性）年龄在17-25岁之间，完成了压力心态、身心健康、感知压力、感知身体对压力的反应、压力下的主动行为、以及评估内隐压力心态的内隐联想测试。结果路径分析表明，压力心态通过积极应对行为和躯体症状感知对心理健康和压力感知有显著的间接影响。压力心态直接预测知觉压力和身体健康，并通过知觉躯体症状的压力心态预测身体健康和学业成绩。内隐压力心态并没有预测积极主动的behaviors.Conclusions目前的研究结果表明，行为的目标是积极主动地满足压力下的需求和感知的躯体症状的压力心态对健康和性能相关的结果的影响的重要介质。这项研究的结果提供了形成性数据，可以为未来干预措施的发展提供信息，旨在鼓励对压力做出更适应性的反应。
Background Emerging evidence indicates that holding particular stress mindsets has favorable implications for peoples' health and performance under stress.Purpose The aim of the current study was to examine the processes by which implicit and explicit stress mindsets relate to health-and performance-related outcomes. Specifically, we propose a stress beliefs model in which somatic responses to stress and coping behaviors mediate the effect of stress mindsets on outcomes.Methods Undergraduate university students (N = 218, n = 144 females) aged 17-25 years completed measures of stress mindset, physical and psychological wellbeing, perceived stress, perceived somatic responses to stress, proactive behaviors under stress, and an implicit association test assessing an implicit stress mindset. At the end of the semester, students' academic performance was collected from university records.Results Path analysis indicated significant indirect effects of stress mindset on psychological wellbeing and perceived stress through proactive coping behaviors and perceived somatic symptoms. Stress mindset directly predicted perceived stress and physical wellbeing, and physical wellbeing and academic performance were predicted by stress mindset through perceived somatic symptoms. Implicit stress mindset did not predict proactive behavior as anticipated.Conclusions Current findings indicate that behaviors with the goal of proactively meeting demands under stress and perceived somatic symptoms are important mediators of the effect of stress mindset on health-and performance-related outcomes. The findings from this study provide formative data that can inform the development of future interventions aiming to encourage more adaptive responses to stress.
