Due to the negative psychological consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic worldwide, it is necessary to study the factors that improve mental health. In this study, we evaluated changing income, self-restraint, fear of COVID-19, depression, anxiety, stress, and ego-resiliency, to investigate the main and moderating effects of ego-resiliency on psychological distress. We analyzed 222 Japanese samples from the dataset of Primary Survey in Japan (PSJ) in the Resilience to COVid-19 in Each Region (RE-COVER) project. The results showed significant main effects of ego-resiliency on depression and stress, and a significant interaction effect of self-restraint and ego-resiliency on depression. We also tested the significance of the moderating effect of ego-resiliency on the relationship between self-restraint and depression. The simple slope of ego-resiliency was only significant for individuals with high self-restraint. Our findings provide empirical evidence on mental health associated with the COVID-19 pandemic among the Japanese population, proving that ego-resiliency functioned to cope with the specific stresses associated with COVID-19.
由于新冠疫情在全球范围内造成的负面心理影响，有必要研究改善心理健康的因素。在本研究中，我们评估了收入变化、自我约束、对新冠的恐惧、抑郁、焦虑、压力和自我复原力，以调查自我复原力对心理困扰的主效应和调节效应。我们分析了来自日本各地区新冠疫情复原力（RE-COVER）项目中日本初级调查（PSJ）数据集的222个日本样本。结果显示，自我复原力对抑郁和压力有显著的主效应，自我约束和自我复原力对抑郁有显著的交互效应。我们还检验了自我复原力对自我约束与抑郁之间关系的调节效应的显著性。自我复原力的简单斜率仅对高自我约束的个体显著。我们的研究结果为日本人群中与新冠疫情相关的心理健康提供了实证证据，证明自我复原力在应对与新冠疫情相关的特定压力方面发挥了作用。
