Abstract
Objective: Our aim was to determine the impact of health literacy on the Chinese population's regulation of emotions and the outcomes of such control. Methods: We collected cross-sectional data from the Chinese community (N=1,267) using a Likert scale questionnaire. We employed SPSS to check data normality and made estimations using confirmatory factor analysis and exploratory factor analysis via AMOS. Results: Health literacy significantly influences regulation of emotions. We found that emotions influence mental well-being, forming strong arguments, social relationships, and positive arguments. Conclusions: The Chinese government should provide health literacy opportunities to the public to have a favorable influence on health behavior. Training for the promoting health literacy is important to influence community health behavior. The regulated emotions in the Chinese community can be a way forward to improve health status. Similarly, regulated emotions help to improve arguments for better social relationships.
