Abstract

Numerous universities nationwide announced urgent implementation of closed campus management due to the epidemics of COVID-19 in Chinese universities since March 2022, and a large number of students were under quarantine. This study aims to explore how embodied experiences (i.e., centralized quarantine and self-quarantine) and mediated experiences (i.e., exposure to media sources, pandemic information overload, and online help seeking) influence the acquisition of learned helplessness during the campus epidemics among the Chinese university students, besides, how do these two types of experiences interact with each other to elicit learned helplessness is another interested research question. The data was collected nationwide via an online survey platform from March 22nd to April 16 2022 immediately after the outbreak of campus epidemics. A total of 1267 valid student samples were retained. Hierarchical regression analysis showed that embodied experience of centralized quarantine is positively related to learned helplessness. Mediated experience of information access from friends on social media and government official media as well as online help seeking are negatively related to learned helplessness. Information access from overseas media and pandemic information overload are positively related to learned helplessness. Besides, the interaction between self-quarantine and pandemic information overload is positively related to learned helplessness. Theoretical contributions and intervention strategies aimed at enhancing authoritative communication and managing information overload during public health crisis were discussed.

中国 COVID-19 校园疫情期间习得性无助感的模仿习得：具身体验与媒介体验之间的互动。

自2022年3月以来，由于COVID-19在中国高校的流行，全国多所高校宣布紧急实施封闭式校园管理，大量学生被隔离。本研究旨在探讨体现性经验（即集中隔离和自我隔离）和中介性经验（即接触媒体资源、疫情信息超载和在线求助）如何影响中国大学生在校园疫情期间习得性无助感的获得，此外，这两类经验如何相互作用以激发习得性无助感是另一个感兴趣的研究问题。本研究于 2022 年 3 月 22 日至 4 月 16 日校园疫情爆发后立即通过在线调查平台在全国范围内收集数据。共保留了 1267 个有效学生样本。层次回归分析表明，集中隔离的具身体验与习得性无助正相关。从社交媒体上的朋友和政府官方媒体获取信息以及在线求助的中介体验与习得性无助感呈负相关。从海外媒体获取信息和疫情信息超载与习得性无助感呈正相关。此外，自我隔离与大流行信息超载之间的交互作用与习得性无助感呈正相关。研究还讨论了在公共卫生危机期间加强权威沟通和管理信息超载的理论贡献和干预策略。
