Psychological distress harms life satisfaction among Chinese college students, but physical literacy and mindfulness help. In a survey of 653 students from six universities in three Chinese cities, structural equation modeling showed that the model explained 36% of the variation in life satisfaction. Physical literacy and mindfulness partially mediated the link between psychological distress and life satisfaction, meaning they reduced the negative impact. The findings suggest that interventions targeting physical literacy and mindfulness practices may effectively enhance well-being and alleviate psychological distress in this population.
