摘要

With the heightened importance of young adults’ health and subjective wellbeing, this study investigated how college students’ leisure crafting relates to components of subjective wellbeing through psychological capital, moderated by interest-major fit and perceived stressors. Online survey data collected from college students residing in the United States (N = 308) were used to test the model (Mage = 22.39, SD = 3.17; female: 63.3%, male: 34.1%, others: 2.6%) and the results revealed that psychological capital fully mediates the links from leisure crafting to academic satisfaction, life satisfaction, and eudaimonic wellbeing. Results also showed that the association between leisure crafting and psychological capital is amplified when students face limited resources. The positive link between leisure crafting and psychological capital is more pronounced among students experiencing higher level of academic, financial, and social stressors, and for those with lower perceived interest-major fit. Our findings indicate that leisure crafting functions as a resource-building process that supports and enhances young adults’ subjective wellbeing. Theoretical and policy implications are discussed.
