Abstract
The Broaden-and-Build theory emphasized the significance of positive emotion which facilitates to construct the personal resources and flourishing. Based on the theory, this study examines the mediating role of resilience played in the relationship between hope and subjective well-being. Participants include 337 undergraduates recruited from X universities of ShaanXi Province in China. Data is collected by using the Satisfaction with Life Scale, the Dispositional Hope Scale and the Brief Resilience Scale. The results analyzed by SPSS indicated that resilience has no role of mediation between hope and subjective well-being. And hope was a negative predictor to subjective well-being.
