Abstract

This study examined the role of pronouns in supportive messages and hope appeals in facilitating people's coping with coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). Participants included 256 residents of New York State, and they evaluated hypothetical messages about COVID-19. Results showed that when people have a communal orientation to coping, you-language (vs. we-language) supportive messages led to more emotional improvement. The presence (vs. absence) of hope appeals in supportive messages increased communal coping. We discuss the implications of results in promoting emotion- and action-focused coping.
新冠肺炎支持信息中代词类型和希望诉求的影响
这项研究考察了代词在支持信息和希望呼吁中的作用,以促进人们应对2019冠状病毒(新冠肺炎)。参与者包括256名纽约州居民,他们评估了关于新冠肺炎的假设信息。结果表明,当人们有共同的应对取向时,你的语言(相对于我们的语言)支持信息会带来更多的情绪改善。支持性信息中存在(与不存在)希望诉求增加了社区应对。我们讨论了结果对促进以情绪和行动为中心的应对的影响。
