摘要

Despite the apparent significance of anger and cognitive failures (CF) in shaping Subjective Well-being (SWB), surprisingly, only some studies have investigated the nature of relationships between these variables. This study aims to investigate the direct and indirect effects of predictors anger (state & trait anger) (SA & SA) and CF on SWB through mediator, psychological distress (PD). SWB was operationalized as cognitive and affective evaluations and these components were measured through Satisfaction with life scale and PANAS, respectively. Employing a cross-sectional design with multi-level cluster sampling technique, 600 young adults aged 18–40 years (M = 22.13, SD = 4.06) from Uttar Pradesh, India, were assessed for relevant variables in classroom setting. The findings assert that predictors were positively associated with PD and negatively with SWB, whereas PD was negatively associated with SWB. Preacher and Hayes' (2004) mediation analysis indicates that the SA's standardized direct (β = − 0.17; p < 0.005) and indirect effect (Via PD) (β = − 0.26; p < 0.05) were significant; thus, PD partially mediated between SA and SWB. Whereas a full-mediation of PD existed between TA and SWB with a significant standardized indirect effect (β = -0.34, p < 0.01), similarly, full-mediation of PD existed between CF and SWB with a significant indirect effect of PD (β = − 0.43, p < 0.01). The predictors emerged as substantial risk factors for SWB, especially when exacerbated by PD. Interventions with a component of emotion regulation and distress management may reduce the detrimental impacts of anger and CF by reducing the induced distress.
