Abstract

ObjectiveTo examine whether John Henryism Active Coping (JHAC) is a protective risk factor for distress during the COVID‐19 pandemic and whether this association differs by race/ethnicity.MethodsData were collected as part of the 2020 National Blair Center Poll. Higher scores on JHAC measured a greater behavioral predisposition to cope actively and persistently with difficult psychosocial stressors and barriers of everyday life.ResultsHigh JHAC was associated with lower odds for feeling worried and for feeling afraid when thinking about COVID‐19. These associations differed across race/ethnicity such that having a greater JHAC behavioral predisposition to coping was inversely associated with feelings of distress when thinking about the COVID‐19 pandemic only among whites and Hispanics, but not among African Americans.ConclusionOur findings have important implications as the COVID‐19 pandemic continues into 2022 and psychological distress may linger and increase due to unprecedented economic and social impacts.

美国在 COVID-19 大流行和约翰-亨利主义积极应对期间的痛苦感受种族差异：全国调查的结果

目的研究约翰-亨利主义积极应对（JHAC）是否是 COVID-19 大流行期间困扰的保护性风险因素，以及这种关联是否因种族/民族而异。结果JHAC得分越高，则在考虑COVID-19时感到担忧和恐惧的几率越低。这些关联在不同种族/族裔之间存在差异，因此只有在白人和西班牙裔美国人中，而在非裔美国人中，JHAC行为应对倾向较高的人在想到COVID-19大流行病时与痛苦感成反比。
