Abstract

Objectives

The current study examined the association between the possession of personal growth initiative (PGI) skills and symptoms of mental illness (i.e., depression, anxiety, and stress) and the potential mediating role of daily engagement of PGI skills during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods

The participants consisted of 73 individuals (M_age = 41.62, SD_age = 12.44) who were recruited from Amazon's Mechanical Turk (MTurk). Data for possessed PGI was collected in April 2020, and the daily survey started approximately 1 month later at the beginning of May 2020 for 29 days.

Results

Controlling for demographic variables, multilevel mediation models revealed significant association between PGI skills and PGI engagement. However, our hypothesized indirect effects were not found. When inspecting the direct effects controlling for the effect of PGI engagement and demographic variables, the paths between PGI skills and both depression and anxiety were negatively associated. When examining the effect of time, there were no significant changes during the period of 29 days in the levels of PGI skills among individuals. However, a significant fluctuation within individuals in how much participants have utilized PGI skills during the study period was found.

Conclusion

The current study highlights the influence of PGI skills at both the between-individual as well as within-individual levels in predicting symptoms of mental illness, and it also uncovers the role of PGI skills by separating into general PGI skills and individual's daily engagement in utilizing the PGI skills in predicting symptoms of mental illness.

参与个人成长倡议技能对抑郁、焦虑和压力的影响：利用密集纵向数据进行多层次调解分析。

研究目的本研究探讨了拥有个人成长主动性（PGI）技能与精神疾病症状（即抑郁、焦虑和压力）之间的关联，以及在 COVID-19 大流行期间个人成长主动性技能日常参与的潜在中介作用：参与者包括 73 人（平均年龄为 41.62 岁，平均年龄为 12.44 岁），他们是从亚马逊的 Mechanical Turk (MTurk) 上招募的。2020 年 4 月收集了拥有 PGI 的数据，大约 1 个月后的 2020 年 5 月初开始了为期 29 天的日常调查：控制人口统计学变量的多层次中介模型显示，PGI 技能与 PGI 参与度之间存在显著关联。然而，我们假设的间接效应并未发现。在检查直接效应时，如果控制 PGI 参与度和人口统计学变量的影响，PGI 技能与抑郁和焦虑之间的路径呈负相关。在考察时间效应时，29 天内个人的 PGI 技能水平没有发生显著变化。然而，研究发现，在研究期间，参与者使用 PGI 技能的程度在个体内部存在明显波动：本研究强调了PGI技能在个体间和个体内两个层面上对预测精神疾病症状的影响，并通过将PGI技能分为一般PGI技能和个体日常参与利用PGI技能来揭示PGI技能在预测精神疾病症状中的作用。
