The COVID-19 pandemic not only threatens people's physical health, but also affects their mental health in the long term. Although people had returned to work and school, they are closely monitoring the development of the epidemic and taking preventive measures. This study attempted to examine the relationship between media exposure, sense of coherence (SOC) and mental health, and the moderating effect of media exposure in college students after returning to school. In the present study, we conducted a cross sectional survey on 424 college students returning to school around May 2020. Self-report questionnaires were used to assess media exposure scale, SOC, depression, anxiety and stress. Correlation and moderation analysis was conducted. The results showed that (1) negative epidemic information exposure, rather than positive epidemic information exposure, was significantly associated with depression, anxiety, and stress. (2) SOC was also associated with depression, anxiety, and stress. (3) The effect of SOC on depression was modified by negative epidemic information exposure. With the increase of negative epidemic information exposure, the predictive effect of SOC on depression is increasing gradually. These findings demonstrated that negative epidemic information exposure was associated with an increased psychological distress in the sample. A high SOC played a certain protective role in the adaptation of college students in the post-epidemic period. It is important to find more ways to increase the colleges' SOC level and avoid negative information exposure.
新冠疫情不仅威胁人们的身体健康，还会长期影响他们的心理健康。尽管人们已重返工作岗位和学校，但仍在密切关注疫情发展并采取预防措施。本研究试图探讨媒体接触、心理一致感（SOC）与心理健康之间的关系，以及返校后大学生中媒体接触的调节作用。在本研究中，我们于2020年5月左右对424名返校大学生进行了横断面调查。采用自陈问卷评估媒体接触量表、心理一致感、抑郁、焦虑和压力。进行了相关性和调节分析。结果表明：（1）负面疫情信息接触而非正面疫情信息接触与抑郁、焦虑和压力显著相关。（2）心理一致感也与抑郁、焦虑和压力相关。（3）心理一致感对抑郁的影响受到负面疫情信息接触的调节。随着负面疫情信息接触的增加，心理一致感对抑郁的预测作用逐渐增强。这些发现表明，负面疫情信息接触与样本中心理困扰的增加有关。高心理一致感在疫情后时期大学生的适应中起到了一定的保护作用。找到更多提高大学生心理一致感水平并避免负面信息接触的方法很重要。
