To identify adolescents who may be at risk for adverse outcomes, we examined the extent of COVID-19-related concerns reported by adolescents and investigated which prepandemic risk and protective factors predicted these concerns during the COVID-19 pandemic. Dutch adolescents (N = 188; M = 13.49, SD = .81) were assessed before the pandemic and at eight and ten months into the pandemic. Results demonstrated that adolescents' most frequently reported COVID-19-related concerns were about social activities and getting delayed in school. Adolescents that have specific vulnerabilities before the pandemic (i.e., higher stress, maladaptive coping, or internalizing problems) experience more concerns during the pandemic, stressing the importance of guiding and supporting these adolescents in order to prevent adverse developmental outcomes.
为了识别可能面临不良后果的青少年,我们调查了青少年报告的与 COVID-19 相关的担忧程度,并研究了哪些大流行前的风险和保护因素可以预测在 COVID-19 大流行期间的这些担忧。荷兰青少年(N=188;M=13.49,SD=.81)在大流行前和大流行 8 个月和 10 个月时进行了评估。结果表明,青少年报告的最常见的与 COVID-19 相关的担忧是社交活动和学业延迟。在大流行前有特定脆弱性的青少年(即更高的压力、适应不良的应对方式或内化问题)在大流行期间经历更多的担忧,这强调了指导和支持这些青少年的重要性,以防止不良的发展结果。
