Abstract

Objective: Longitudinal studies have shown that most individuals can stay well in response to potential traumatic events (PTEs). However, the mechanisms underlying such resilience are still unclear.

Method: This study integrates Bonanno's resilience model (Bonanno, 2004) with the salutogenic approach (Antonovsky, 1979) to investigate the association between anxiety trajectories and sense of coherence (SOC). Data were collected from 526 (279 males) Israeli adults via online questionnaires at seven time points between March 2020 and February 2022, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Results: Latent profile analysis identified four anxiety trajectories: (a) resilience (consistently low symptom levels), (b) chronic (consistently elevated symptoms), (c) improving (initially elevated symptoms decreasing over time), and (d) high resilience (sustained absence of anxiety symptoms), providing partial support for Bonanno's model. As expected, SOC significantly differentiated these trajectories, with the "high-resilience" group exhibiting the strongest SOC, followed by the "resilience" and "improving" groups, while the chronic group displayed the weakest SOC levels.

Conclusions: This research underscores SOC as a key predictor of anxiety trajectories in navigating PTEs, shedding light on the importance of individual resilience factors in managing adversity. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2026 APA, all rights reserved).

解释应对潜在创伤事件的复原力：COVID-19期间焦虑的连贯性和轨迹。

目的：纵向研究表明，大多数个体可以很好地应对潜在的创伤性事件（pte）。然而，这种弹性背后的机制仍不清楚。方法：本研究将Bonanno的弹性模型（Bonanno, 2004）与健康成因方法（Antonovsky, 1979）相结合，探讨焦虑轨迹与连贯性感（SOC）的关系。在2019冠状病毒病大流行的背景下，在2020年3月至2022年2月的七个时间点，通过在线问卷收集了526名（279名男性）以色列成年人的数据。结果：潜在特征分析确定了四种焦虑轨迹：(a)弹性（持续低症状水平），(b)慢性（持续升高的症状），(c)改善（最初升高的症状随着时间的推移而减少），(d)高弹性（持续没有焦虑症状），为Bonanno的模型提供了部分支持。正如预期的那样，SOC在这些轨迹上显著分化，“高弹性”组的SOC最强，其次是“弹性”组和“改善”组，而慢性组的SOC水平最弱。结论：本研究强调SOC是pte导航焦虑轨迹的关键预测因子，揭示了个体弹性因素在逆境管理中的重要性。（PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA，版权所有）。
