“…The results of correlation analysis indicated that the study variables have significant correlations with each other (see table 2). The results are consistent with the study of Yu et al 19 fate control is an internal control state that works as cognitive defense mechanism, it reduces self-blaming by increasing rationalization about the disease in the patients that increase wellbeing. Furthermore, a significant association was examined between hardiness, resilience and wellbeing, because hardiness focuses more on endurance in a critical health situation, whereas resilience is the capacity to recover after the adverse situation the results of present study coincides with the existing literature in the west.…”

Objective: the objective of the study was to assess the relationship between fate control, hardiness, and wellbeing among the patients of myocardial infarction, with the mediating role of gratitude and resilience. Methodology: The cross-sectional research design was used to assess the relationship between the variables. The sample comprised of 150 cardiac patients included (male =111 and female =39), with the age range from 18 to 70 years. Informed consent was taken and confidentiality was ensured. The data was collected through valid and reliable indigenously translated instruments. Furthermore, data was analyzed through using SPSS-23 and AMOS-21. Results: The mean age of the study participants was 39 + 7.6 years. The results showed that fate control and hardiness were significantly correlated (p < .05) with wellbeing in cardiac patients. Furthermore, Path analysis through structure equational modeling revealed that resilience and gratitude mediated the association between fate control, hardiness, and wellbeing (χ2 (1) = 3.01, p = .05, CFI = .96, GFI = .96). However, the wellbeing of the patients during the mediation was affected by the covariates such as age, gender, and hospital sector. Conclusion: The adaptive functions of fate control, and hardiness as a cognitive defensive mechanism and highlight the need to incorporate this cultural belief in developing culturally sensitive intervention programs to enhance resilience and wellbeing of the patients with myocardial infarction. Keywords: Myocardial Infarction, Fate Control, Hardiness, Wellbeing of Cardiac Patients.

“…Our findings highlight the protective role of external resilience resources in PLWHA in a rural area of China. Although our study replicated the previous reports on the benefits of individual resilience resources in this population (Yu, Zhang, Chow, et al, 2016;Zhang et al, 2015), the roles of marital and family relationships as external resilience factors for Chinese PLWHA were neglected in previous studies because they are often described as an isolated population that brings stigma to their close family members (Cao, Sullivan, Xu, & Wu, 2006;Li et al, 2008). Resilience literature has suggested the importance of close relationships in the resilience process (Fergus & Zimmerman, 2005;Masten, 2016;Yates & Masten, 2004), which has been supported in people affected by non-stigmatized chronic diseases such as cancer and renal disease (Pruchno et al, 2009;Rosland & Piette, 2010;Rottmann et al, 2015).…”

“…For individual resilience resources, summarized previous findings about the personal characteristics of resilient people and subsequently developed the Connor-Davidson Scale of Resilience to provide a general measure of individual resilience resources, which covers resilient personal qualities such as self-efficacy and acceptance of change. These individual resilience resources have been found to be associated with better adjustment in various at-risk populations (Connor, Davidson, & Lee, 2003;Pietrzak, Johnson, Goldstein, Malley, & Southwick, 2009;Zhang, Yu, Zhou, & Zhang, 2017), including PLWHA in China (Yu, Chen, Ye, Li, & Lin, 2016;Yu, Zhang, Chow, Chan, & Chan, 2016;Zhang et al, 2015). Resilience resources are also external to individuals.…”

The systems framework of resilience has suggested that resilient factors external to or within the individual and their interactions can contribute to positive adjustment in at-risk populations. However, the interplays of resilience resources at different levels have seldom been investigated in health psychology, particularly in people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). This study aimed to examine the mediating role of individual resilience resources in the associations between marital and family relationships and well-being in PLWHA. A sample of 160 Chinese PLWHA were interviewed to complete measures on marital relationship, family relationship, individual resilience resources, and general, physical, and mental well-being. Results showed that better marital relationship and family relationship were associated with higher levels of individual resilience resources and well-being indicators. Mediation analysis with path analysis showed significant mediating effects of individual resilience resources between marital and family relationships and general, physical, and mental well-being. By highlighting marital and family relationships as external resources of resilience and their roles in increasing individual resilience factors which thereby contribute to the well-being of PLWHA, our findings support the systems framework of resilience. There are implications for resilience enhancement interventions with the aim of improving PLWHA's well-being by including interpersonal strategies of strengthening the protective role of marital and family relationships, which will in turn facilitate the resilience process.

“…In a large-scale community study in Romania, Dinca and Iliesca [40] found that people high in fate control reported more health-protective behaviors, including higher medication intake and more visitations to doctor than those low in fate control, despite the same reported health conditions. In another study on fate control and well-being among HIV patients, fate control was positively related to resilience, which in turn positively predicted well-being [54].…”

Does Believing in Fate Facilitate Active or Avoidant Coping? The Effects of Fate Control on Coping Strategies and Mental Well-Being

The development of control-related constructs has involved different approaches over time, and yet internal and external locus of control are conceptualized as dichotomous factors influencing active versus avoidant coping strategies. While external control is associated with avoidance, a similar belief construct fate control, which denotes that life events are pre-determined and influenced by external forces but predictable and alterable, challenges the assumption of incompatibility between fate and agency. To develop a dynamic model of control, we suggest that external control would affect avoidant coping, which in turn would affect psychological distress, whereas fate control would affect both active and avoidant coping when dealing with stress. The model was supported among Hong Kong Chinese using a cross-sectional approach in Study 1 (n = 251) and hypothetical stressful scenarios in Study 2 (n = 294). The moderating effect of perceived controllability was observed in coping behaviors using a diary approach in Study 3 (n = 188). Our findings offer an alternative perspective to the dichotomous view of control and provide implications for coping strategies and mental well-being.
