Abstract

The essential role of the psychological needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness in well-being has been demonstrated convincingly. Yet whether their fulfillment also serves as a source of resilience in the face of adversity has received limited attention. A longitudinal sample of Belgian citizens (N = 1869; M_age = 56.23, 68% female) completed an online questionnaire on 13 occasions between April 2020 and April 2022 during the COVID-19 crisis. Multilevel analyses showed that need fulfillment, both at the between- and within-person level, related negatively to concerns, even after controlling for exposure to personal risks. Further, the association between concerns and changes in symptoms of depression and anxiety was dampened when people reported higher need fulfillment compared with others (i.e. between-person level) or when they reported periodically more need fulfillment than usual (i.e. within-person level). This moderation effect occurred on top of the systematic negative main effect of need fulfillment on symptoms of anxiety and depression. Psychological need fulfillment serves as a resilience factor (a) by reducing concerns in the face of adverse events (i.e. an appraisal effect) and (b) by mobilizing resources that help individuals to deal better with concerns (i.e. a coping effect). Theoretical and practical implications of the resilience effect of need fulfillment are discussed.

作为复原力来源的心理需求满足:在COVID-19大流行期间，其在焦虑和抑郁症状中的保护作用

对自主性、能力和亲缘性的心理需求在幸福感中的重要作用已经得到了令人信服的证明。然而，他们的满足是否也能作为面对逆境时恢复力的来源，却受到了有限的关注。比利时公民的纵向样本(N = 1869;在2020年4月至2022年4月COVID-19危机期间，Mage = 56.23, 68%为女性)完成了13次在线问卷调查。多层次分析表明，即使在控制了个人风险暴露之后，人与人之间和人与人之间的需求满足与担忧呈负相关。此外，当人们报告比他人更高的需求满足(即人际层面)或当他们定期报告比平时更多的需求满足(即人际层面)时，担忧与抑郁和焦虑症状变化之间的关联被削弱。这种适度效应发生在需求满足对焦虑和抑郁症状的系统性负性主效应之上。心理需求满足作为一种弹性因素(a)通过减少面对不良事件时的担忧(即评估效应)和(b)通过调动资源帮助个体更好地处理担忧(即应对效应)。讨论了需求满足的弹性效应的理论和实践意义。
