摘要

目的 本研究旨在借鉴压力和应对的交易模型,了解在大流行病期间,寻求社会支持在研究生的感知无助感、自我效能感和满意度之间的关系中的作用。研究生是由非传统学生组成的,他们被认为与传统学生有很大的不同。然而,目前还没有研究探讨在 COVID-19 大流行期间寻求社会支持对研究生心理健康的影响,尤其是无助感与积极心理健康之间的关系。更具体地说,本研究探讨了寻求他人的社会支持如何在研究生的感知无助感与自我效能感、学业满意度和总体生活满意度之间起到中介作用。研究结果本研究结果表明,感知无助感与自我效能感之间存在直接的不利关系。社会支持调节了这两个变量之间的负面关系,缓冲了学生感受到的负面心理体验,提高了自我效能感和两个领域的满意度。自我效能感与研究生的学业满意度和总体生活满意度呈正相关。学业满意度也能正向预测一般生活满意度。本研究为中学后教育文献增添了新的内容,并为更广泛的讨论做出了贡献,这些讨论指出了社会支持在支持研究生应对心理挑战方面的积极作用,而这些挑战在压力条件下可能会加剧。

Exploring graduate students’ perceived helplessness, self-efficacy, social support and satisfaction

Purpose

This study aims to understand the role of seeking social support in the relationship between perceived helplessness, self-efficacy and satisfaction among graduate students during the pandemic, drawing upon the transactional model of stress and coping. Graduate students are composed of nontraditional students who are considered significantly different from traditional students. Nonetheless, research has yet to explore how seeking social support contributed to graduate students’ mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic, especially to the relationship between feelings of helplessness and positive mental health. More specifically, this study examined how seeking social support from others mediates the relationship between perceived helplessness and self-efficacy, academic satisfaction and general life satisfaction among graduate students.

Design/methodology/approach

Using quantitative data collected from 545 graduate students at a large, research-intensive university in the USA, structural equation modeling was used to test our conceptual model.

Findings

The results of this study indicate that perceived helplessness has a direct and adverse relationship with self-efficacy. Social support mediates the negative relationship between the two variables, buffering the negative psychological experience students feel and leading to higher levels of self-efficacy and two domains of satisfaction. Self-efficacy is positively associated with academic and general life satisfaction among graduate students. Academic satisfaction positively predicts general life satisfaction, as well. A conceptual model was developed, yielding acceptable goodness-of-fit statistics.

Originality/value

This study adds to the postsecondary education literature and contributes to the larger discourse identifying the positive role of social support in supporting graduate students to cope with psychological challenges that may be exacerbated under stressful conditions.
