Correlational study demonstrates that happiness-increasing strategies mediate psychological maturity and family resilience in adults, suggesting proactive emotional habits strengthen family bonds.
This study aims to test the mediating role of happiness-increasing strategies in the relationship between psychological maturity and family resilience. A correlational design was chosen for this research. 250 adult volunteers [Agerange = 25-58, AgeMean = 37.94, AgeSD = 5.71] participated in this study. The Psychological Maturity Scale, the Happiness Increasing Strategies Scale for Adults, and the Family Resilience Scale Short Form were used to collect data. The data were tested using a two-stage structural equation modelling approach. Then, the significance of the mediating role of happiness-increasing strategies in the relationship between psychological maturity and family resilience was tested using bootstrap analysis. The research findings show that psychological maturity positively predicts happiness-increasing strategies. Similarly, psychological maturity positively predicts family resilience. Furthermore, it was determined that happiness-increasing strategies positively predicted family resilience. Finally, it was found that happiness-increasing strategies played a significant mediating role in the relationship between psychological maturity and family resilience.
