Abstract

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the mediating role of growth mindset of anxiety beliefs and avoidant coping behaviors in predicting changes in anxiety across the first year of college, drawing from a sample of first year students managing the transition to college under the COVID-19 pandemic and associated restrictions (Fall 2020-Fall 2021).

Methods: Self-report online surveys (n=122) were administered to first year students at four timepoints: the beginning (August 2020; T1), and follow up surveys at two months (October 2020; T2), three months (November 2020; T3) and twelve months (August 2021; T4).

Results: Path analysis indicate that growth mindset of anxiety and avoidant coping partially mediate the relationship between baseline anxiety and later anxiety outcomes.

Discussion: These findings have implications for mental health interventions designed to alter health attributions and mindset.

焦虑的成长心态和逃避应对作为大学一年级焦虑的中介：新冠肺炎大流行背景下对大学生的纵向调查。

引言：本研究的目的是评估焦虑信念的成长心态和回避型应对行为在预测大学一年级焦虑变化中的中介作用，从新冠肺炎大流行和相关限制下管理大学过渡的一年级学生样本中抽取（2020年秋季至2021年秋季）。方法：在四个时间点对一年级学生进行自我报告在线调查（n=122）：开始（2020年8月；T1）和两个月的随访调查（2020年10月；T2），三个月（2020年11月；T3）和十二个月（2021年8月；T4）。结果：路径分析表明，焦虑的成长心态和回避型应对在一定程度上介导了基线焦虑和后期焦虑结果之间的关系。讨论：这些发现对旨在改变健康归因和心态的心理健康干预措施有启示。
