LYLYU YanqiWQWEI Qingwang

Key Points

  • This research aims to explore the relationship between zhongyong thinking and various mental health indicators, along with moderating factors.
  • Conducted a three-level meta-analysis of studies published before April 30, 2025.
  • Included 56 studies on zhongyong thinking and positive mental health, alongside another 43 on negative mental health.
  • Analyzed a total of 60 independent samples with 139 effect sizes for positive health and 45 independent samples with 136 effect sizes for negative health.
  • Zhongyong thinking is positively correlated with indicators of positive mental health (r = 0.24).
  • It is negatively correlated with indicators of negative mental health (r = -0.21).
  • Higher correlations found with resilience, job satisfaction, and happiness compared to life satisfaction.

Abstract

摘要: 基于中庸实践思维体系和心理健康双因素模型, 运用三水平元分析方法探讨中庸思维与心理健康的关系及其调节因素。检索2025年4月30日之前的文献, 最终纳入56篇探讨中庸思维与积极心理健康关系的文献, 共60个独立样本, 139个效应量, 35410名被试, 以及43篇探讨中庸思维与消极心理健康关系的文献, 共45个独立样本, 136个效应量, 35596名被试。结果发现, 中庸思维与积极心理健康指标显著正相关(r = 0.24), 与消极心理健康指标显著负相关(r = -0.21), 二者均为中等水平效应量; 中庸思维与心理弹性、工作满意度、工作幸福感的相关高于其与生活满意度的相关; 中庸思维和幸福感、安适感、积极情绪的相关与其和生活满意度的相关无显著差异。使用中庸信念-价值量表、中庸意见表达量表以及中庸价值取向量表测得的效应量彼此差异较小, 且与中庸实践自评量表测得的效应量差异显著。结合元分析的结果, 对中庸思维的理论内涵、测量方式, 及其与心理健康的关系进行了讨论, 指出从超越二元对立的“执中致和”视角理解中庸思维与心理健康所具有的理论建构意义。
