Abstract

Media coverage of large-scale violence can result in interfering thoughts and depression. This research investigates the relationship between interfering thoughts and depression when watching the Russo-Ukrainian war. In the theoretical model, the more the war is watched, the more it is related to interfering thoughts, which are related to depression. With the ongoing pandemic, depression, when watching the war, was related to coronavirus threat. Data was collected online from April to June, 2022, with university students in Germany, Finland, and Canada (N = 865). Path analysis results in each sample showed that the model fit the data with sample-specific modification indices. There was full mediation of watching the war by interference on depression, indicating that it is not watching the war, per se, but rather its relationship to cognitive interference, that is associated with depression. Denial and coronavirus threat were positively related to depression. Implications for research and student support are considered.

三个国家样本中认知干扰对俄乌战争期间抑郁症的调解作用。

媒体对大规模暴力事件的报道可能导致干扰性思维和抑郁。本研究调查了在观看俄乌战争时干扰思想与抑郁之间的关系。在理论模型中，观看战争的次数越多，干扰想法就越多，而干扰想法与抑郁有关。随着大流行病的持续，观看战争时的抑郁与冠状病毒威胁有关。该研究于 2022 年 4 月至 6 月期间在线收集了德国、芬兰和加拿大大学生的数据（N = 865）。各样本的路径分析结果表明，模型与特定样本的修正指数符合数据。观看战争对抑郁的干扰具有完全的中介作用，这表明与抑郁相关的不是观看战争本身，而是战争与认知干扰之间的关系。否认和冠状病毒威胁与抑郁呈正相关。本研究还考虑了对研究和学生支持的影响。
