Stress appraisal measure, Brief COPE inventory, Perceived stress scale and Fear contracting COVID-19 questionnaire were used to assess cognitive appraisal, coping, stress and fear respectively. Results showed that nurses had high uncontrollable, stressfulness and primary appraisal, used more avoidant emotional and problem focused coping, were more stressed and fearful as compared to doctors and psychologists. Psychologists had a high appraisal of control-self and control-others as compared to doctors and nurses and were more fearful than doctors. Doctors and psychologists used more coping of humor as compared to nurses. Moreover, primary appraisal and avoidant emotional coping positively predicted stress whereas control-self appraisal negatively predicted stress among health professionals. Uncontrollable and stressfulness appraisal positively correlated with fear.

We manipulated cultural self-construal by exposing the participants (<i>N</i> = 164) to either an independence or an interdependence prime and asked them to evaluate vignettes depicting typical anxious and avoidant behaviors.

In this study, 178 adults who had not received mindfulness training completed the same diary for continuous 14 days, in which their mindfulness and rumination at state level were measured. Besides, mindfulness, rumination, and life satisfaction at dispositional level were measured before and after the daily reporting process. Hierarchical linear models showed that daily mindfulness is a significant predictor of daily rumination. In addition, both the latent growth curve model and structural equation model showed that the change of daily mindfulness can influence life satisfaction through the change of rumination, and this relationship was also confirmed at the dispositional level.
