Abstract:
:This study examined the association between mental adjustment styles and quality of life, and affect as a mediator among 238 Chinese cancer survivors. Regression analysis showed that quality of life was positively associated with fighting spirit and negatively associated with fatalism. Path analysis showed that greater fighting spirit was associated with more positive affect, which in turn was associated with higher quality of life. Greater fatalism was associated with less positive affect and more negative affect, which in turn was associated with lower quality of life. Findings suggest that positive affect and negative affect are important in understanding mental adjustment styles and its health implications.
