“…Unlike a cross-sectional study in the United States that found that COVID-19 fear significantly decreased human flourishing and that gender moderated the relationship between those two variables [15], people from our sample showed average levels of flourishing. Longitudinal research may also support our findings.…”

“…Some examples of its statements are "I feel that I'm a person of worthy, at least on an equal plane with others" and "On the whole, I am satisfied with myself." After reversing five items and summing the total score, responses are classified into low [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25], medium [26][27][28][29], and high (30-40) levels of self-esteem. In this study, this scale showed a reliability of 0.85.…”

“…Despite some differences in its definition, a flourished person is characterized for having high levels of subjective wellbeing [13] and for being functional, both psychologically and socially, through positive relationships, meaning in life, self-acceptance, and self-esteem [14]. During the pandemic, a study showed that there was a negative relationship between COVID-19 fear and human flourishing because of selfisolation and restricted activities, particularly during the lockdown periods [15].…”

“…Anxiety prevalence, based on the aforementioned parameters, was ~20.2 to 71.3% (Makhashvili et al, 2020 ; Newby et al, 2020 ; Passos et al, 2020 ; Vujčić et al, 2021 ). Although studied less frequently, similar decreases were found when measuring flourishing (e.g., Kavčič et al, 2021 ; Sürücü et al, 2021 ; VanderWeele et al, 2021 ).…”

The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic was associated with robust declines in well-being for collegiate student-athletes. Worries about COVID-19 have frequently been associated with worsening well-being; therefore, it is important to examine protective factors against well-being decrements. Resilience, one's ability to respond to stress and adversity, may be one such factor. Despite this possible influence, resilience has not yet been studied in student-athletes in this context as the pandemic has progressed. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the moderating role of resilience on the relationship between COVID-19 worries and well-being. In this cross-sectional design, National Collegiate Athletic Association Division III athletes (N = 91) at one university completed surveys on COVID-19 worries, resilience, and well-being between February and March 2021. All competitions had been postponed until the Spring 2021 semester. The findings revealed a negative correlation between COVID-19 worries and well-being (r = −0.21, p = 0.05) and a positive correlation between resilience and well-being (r = 0.44, p < 0.001). Additionally, multiple regression and simple slopes analyses showed that individuals with higher resilience endorsed greater scores of well-being, even when COVID-19 worries increased (β = 0.38, p = 0.02). In conclusion, our results suggest that resilience had a moderating effect on the relationship between COVID-19 worries and well-being.

“…The unpredictability, uncertainty tolerance, and overloading of information during COVID-19 caused worries, fear, insecurity, and psychological stress ( Exner-Cortens et al, 2021 ; Tetreault et al, 2021 ). The lockdown, social distancing, and home confinement brought about self-isolation and loneliness, resulting in reductions in life satisfaction and flourishing ( Duong, 2021 ; Sürücü et al, 2021 ). Meanwhile, emerging research has found that physical activity exerted advantageous effects on physical and psychological well-being during the COVID-19 epidemic ( Randall et al, 2021 ), but little is known about how people’s well-being benefits from their engagement in physical activity.…”

Physical activity has wide-ranging consequences for people’s physical, mental, and social health. Although the beneficial effects of physical activity on well-being were widely studied, how it promotes well-being remained unclear. The present study utilized the measure of physical activity rating scale (PARS-3), flourishing scale (FS), Chinese- meaning in life questionnaire (C-MLQ), and general self-efficacy scale (GSES) to examine the connection between physical activity and flourishing and the multiple mediation effects of meaning and self-efficacy with 827 Chinese undergraduates. The results indicated that (a) physical activity positively predicted flourishing; (b) meaning in life and self-efficacy played mediating roles in physical activity and flourishing, separately and jointly. Our findings revealed the mechanism of physical activity fostering flourishing, thereby providing an empirical basis for promoting health and flourishing, especially during COVID-19.
