摘要

导言:COVID-19大流行一夜之间改变了人们的生活。随着大流行的突然蔓延,即将毕业的大学生遇到了广泛的挫折和挑战,并且对大流行将持续多久存在很大的不确定性。本研究探讨了对大流行持续时间的预期与纵向心理健康之间的关系,以及对未来自我的感知(即未来自我认同)作为大流行期间心理健康的潜在保护和促进因素的作用。方法:即将毕业的大四学生完成了一项由两部分组成的纵向研究,从大流行最初在美国传播开始(2020年3月26日至4月10日),并在大流行过程中半年多结束(2021年10月20日至1月27日)。结果:研究结果表明,较高的初始抑郁症状并不预示着对更长的大流行的预期,但对更长的大流行的预期显著预示着高于初始症状的更高的下游抑郁症状。此外,更大的未来自我认同并没有缓和预期大流行长度与下游萧条之间的关系(即,它不是一个重要的保护因素)。然而,对未来自我的积极看法显著地预示着更好的下游心理健康,而不是对流行病长度和最初抑郁症状的看法。对未来自我的积极态度可能是大流行期间心理健康的重要促进因素。讨论:这些结果表明,那些预期危机会延长的学生可能需要额外的支持,而对未来自我的积极认知可能是一种宝贵的心理资源。

When Will This End? Exploring the Relationship between Depression Symptoms, Perceptions of the Future Self, and Anticipated Length of the COVID-19 Pandemic in College Seniors
Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic changed lives overnight. With the pandemic's abrupt spread, graduating college students encountered widespread setbacks and challenges and were left with considerable uncertainty about how long the pandemic would last. This research explored the relationship between anticipation of the pandemic's length and longitudinal mental health, and the role of perception of the future self (i.e., future self-identification) as a potential protective and promotive factor for mental health during the pandemic. Methods: Graduating college seniors completed a two-part longitudinal study starting as the pandemic initially spread in the United States (March 26—April 10, 2020) and ending over half a year into the pandemic's course (October 20-January 27, 2021). Results: Findings suggested that higher initial symptoms of depression did not predict anticipating a longer pandemic, but anticipating a longer pandemic significantly predicted higher downstream depression symptoms over and above the initial symptoms. Additionally, greater future self-identification did not moderate the relationship between anticipated pandemic length and downstream depression (i.e., it was not a significant protective factor). However, having a positive view of the future self significantly predicted better downstream mental health over and above perceptions of pandemic length and initial depression symptoms. Positivity toward the future self may be an important promotive factor for mental health during the pandemic. Discussion: These results indicate that students who anticipate an extended crisis may need extra support, and perception of the future self as positive may be a valuable psychological resource.

期刊介绍: This journal is devoted to the application of theory and research from social psychology toward the better understanding of human adaptation and adjustment, including both the alleviation of psychological problems and distress (e.g., psychopathology) and the enhancement of psychological well-being among the psychologically healthy. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) traditionally defined psychopathology (e.g., depression), common emotional and behavioral problems in living (e.g., conflicts in close relationships), the enhancement of subjective well-being, and the processes of psychological change in everyday life (e.g., self-regulation) and professional settings (e.g., psychotherapy and counseling). Articles reporting the results of theory-driven empirical research are given priority, but theoretical articles, review articles, clinical case studies, and essays on professional issues are also welcome. Articles describing the development of new scales (personality or otherwise) or the revision of existing scales are not appropriate for this journal.
