透過啟發性的媒體内容建立韌性

在過去兩年中疫情在全球肆虐，「韌性」這個概念再次受到大家的關注。這個突如其來的挑戰讓大家措手不及，不僅對個人造成影響，也影響了全世界。在這段日子裡，人們在生活上經歷了不同程度的影響。儘管疫情對人類造成了廣大的影響，有些人還是展現出了迅速的適應能力。為了研究此現象，本研究採用了 Fredrickson (2002) 所提出的「擴展與建構理論」（broaden-and-build theory）來解釋人們如何在日常生活中建構韌性。此外，本研究旨在探索啟發性的媒體內容，特別是弱勢角色敘述，所引起的希望情緒是否對建構韌性有正面的影響。不僅如此，本研究也加入了趨近動機（approach motivation）來測試希望情緒與韌性之間的中介效果。本研究採用實驗法，招募了76位受試者，將他們平均分配至兩個組別：弱勢組和對照組（大自然組）。研究結果顯示，觀看弱勢角色敘述可以誘發希望情緒，繼而助於提升個人的韌性。除此之外，研究也發現，趨近動機部分中介了希望情緒與韌性之間的關係。本研究有助於了解觀看啟發性媒體內容的心理機制及對其個人任性的影響。

In the past two years, the notion of resilience has received much attention again due to the pandemic outbreak. Such unexpected challenge has affected people globally and personally, which caught most people off guard and experience different extents of disruption in their daily lives. Yet, despite being unprepared for the crisis, some people have shown a rapid adaptation. To examine this phenomenon, this study adopted Fredrickson (2001)’s broaden-and-build theory to explain the cultivation of resilience in daily life. Furthermore, this study aimed to explore whether the hope emotion induced by inspirational media, in particular, underdog narrative, could positively influence cultivation. Moreover, this study also included approach motivation to test the mediation effect between hope and resilience. This experimental study recruited 76 participants and divided them into two groups: the underdog and the nature group. Results show that viewing the underdog narrative can induce hope emotion which can improve one’s resilience. Furthermore, the findings also revealed that approach motivation partially mediates the relationship between hope emotion and resilience. In conclusion, this study helps to understand the underlying mechanism of watching inspirational media and its psychological impact on the viewers.
