The Dual Role of Resilience in Student Well-being: A Moderated Mediation Model of Perceived Health and Life Satisfaction
O duplo papel da resiliência na satisfação com a vida de estudantes pré-universitários de Lima Metropolitana: a saúde percebida como mecanismo mediador e a autoaceitação como condição de contorno
Resumen (es)
Objetivo: examinar el papel de la salud percibida en la relación entre la competencia personal y la satisfacción con la vida en estudiantes preuniversitarios, y determinar si la aceptación de sí regula la eficacia de esa vía. Método: diseño transversal, cuantitativo y explicativo con 440 estudiantes preuniversitarios mayores de edad de Lima Metropolitana, seleccionados por muestreo no probabilístico por conveniencia, con tamaño determinado a priori. Los constructos se midieron con instrumentos de autorreporte de formato Likert de cinco puntos y se modelaron en modo reflectivo A mediante ecuaciones estructurales por mínimos cuadrados parciales, con 5000 submuestras de bootstrap, índice de moderación mediada y efectos indirectos condicionales. Resultados: el modelo de medición satisfizo los criterios de fiabilidad y validez discriminante. Las cinco hipótesis recibieron respaldo: la competencia personal predijo la satisfacción de forma directa y a través de la salud percibida, en un patrón de mediación parcial, y la aceptación de sí amplificó esa transferencia; el efecto indirecto no alcanzó significación en el nivel bajo del moderador. Conclusiones: el bienestar en esta etapa depende de la articulación entre un recurso agéntico y uno evaluativo, lo que orienta una secuencia priorizada de intervención.
Resumen (en)
Aim: To examine the role of perceived health in the relationship between personal competence and life satisfaction among pre-university students, and to determine whether self-acceptance regulates the efficacy of that pathway. Method: A cross-sectional, quantitative and explanatory design was applied to 440 adult pre-university students from Metropolitan Lima, selected through non-probabilistic convenience sampling, with a priori determined sample size. Constructs were measured with five-point Likert self-report instruments and modelled in reflective mode A through partial least squares structural equation modelling, with 5000 bootstrap subsamples, an index of moderated mediation and conditional indirect effects. Results: The measurement model satisfied reliability and discriminant validity criteria. All five hypotheses received support: personal competence predicted life satisfaction both directly and through perceived health, in a partial mediation pattern, and self-acceptance amplified that transfer; the indirect effect was non-significant at the low level of the moderator. Conclusions: Well-being at this stage depends on the articulation between an agentic and an evaluative resource, which informs a prioritized intervention sequence.

Os construtos foram mensurados com instrumentos de autorrelato em formato Likert de cinco pontos e modelados em modo reflexivo A por meio de equações estruturais com mínimos quadrados parciais, com 5.000 subamostras de bootstrap, índice de mediação moderada e efeitos indiretos condicionais. Resultados: O modelo de mensuração atendeu aos critérios de confiabilidade e validade discriminante. As cinco hipóteses foram respaldadas: a competência pessoal predisse a satisfação de forma direta e por meio da saúde percebida, em um padrão de mediação parcial, e a autoaceitação amplificou essa transferência; o efeito indireto não alcançou significância no nível baixo do moderador. Conclusões: O bem-estar nessa etapa depende da articulação entre um recurso agêntico e um recurso avaliativo, o que orienta uma sequência priorizada de intervenção.
