Abstract

Adherence to COVID-19 social distancing restrictions may be challenging for adolescents, especially those concerned about social status. This study examined self-perceived popularity and reputation concerns as predictors of adherence to health guidelines and the effects of self-perceived popularity on adjustment. Adolescents (n = 1,068, 14–18 years at Time 1, Mage = 16.86 years) completed three self-report surveys across 10 months during the COVID-19 pandemic. Consistent with hypotheses, greater self-perceived popularity and concerns about peer reputation predicted less adherence, controlling for COVID-19 threat. Further, greater self-perceived popularity predicted less internalizing symptoms at Time 3. Adolescents’ perceptions of their popularity may simultaneously act as a public health risk and provide social protection. Results emphasize the importance of acknowledging adolescents’ social pressures and concerns regarding reputations and popularity during COVID-19.

保持安全还是保持受欢迎？受欢迎程度和声誉问题预测新冠肺炎大流行期间的遵守和调整

坚持新冠肺炎社交距离限制对青少年来说可能是一项挑战，尤其是那些关注社会地位的青少年。这项研究考察了自我感知的受欢迎程度和声誉问题作为遵守健康指南的预测因素，以及自我感知受欢迎程度对调整的影响。青少年（n = 1068，14–18 时间1的年份，法师 = 16.86 年）完成了三项自我报告调查新冠肺炎大流行期间的几个月。与假设一致，更高的自我认知受欢迎程度和对同伴声誉的担忧预测了更少的依从性，从而控制了新冠肺炎的威胁。此外，更大的自我感知受欢迎程度预示着在时间3时内化症状更少。青少年对自己受欢迎程度的看法可能同时成为公共健康风险，并提供社会保护。研究结果强调了承认新冠肺炎期间青少年的社会压力和对声誉和受欢迎程度的担忧的重要性。
