The restriction of numerous sectors of society and the uncertainty surrounding the development of the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in adverse psychological states to college students isolated at home. In this study, we explored the mediating role of fatigue in the effects of epidemic rumination and resilience on depressive symptoms as well as how epidemic rumination and resilience may interact with one another. A large sample of Chinese college students ( = 1,293) completed measures on epidemic rumination, resilience, fatigue, and depressive symptoms. Results indicated depressive symptomology was positively predicted by epidemic rumination while negatively predicted by resilience. In both cases, fatigue partially mediated these effects and positively predicted depressive symptoms. Unexpectedly, epidemic rumination and resilience interacted in a manner where the effect of rumination on fatigue became stronger as resiliency increased. Theoretical and practical implications are provided to further interpret the results.
社会众多领域的限制和围绕 COVID-19 大流行发展的不确定性，导致在家中被隔离的大学生产生了不良的心理状态。在这项研究中，我们探讨了疲劳在疫情反刍和韧性对抑郁症状的影响中的中介作用，以及疫情反刍和韧性如何相互作用。一组中国大学生（n=1293）完成了疫情反刍、韧性、疲劳和抑郁症状的测量。结果表明，抑郁症状与疫情反刍呈正相关，与韧性呈负相关。在这两种情况下，疲劳部分中介了这些影响，并与抑郁症状呈正相关。出乎意料的是，疫情反刍和韧性以一种相互作用的方式出现，随着韧性的增加，反刍对疲劳的影响增强。为了进一步解释结果，提供了理论和实践意义。
