The aim of this longitudinal study was to investigate emerging adults' mental health and the COVID-19 pandemic, and whether social support from mothers, fathers, and best friends moderated the in mental health. Participants were 98 emerging adults (46% men) who were assessed prior to COVID-19 ( = 20.60 years) and during the first lockdown ( = 22.67 years). Results indicated that the pandemic did not uniformly lead to elevated levels of mental health problems, but instead depended on level of mental health problems prior to COVID-19 and the source of support. For emerging adults who already experienced more problems prior to COVID-19, more maternal support was related to in general psychological distress and depressive symptoms, whereas more paternal support was related to in general psychological distress and depressive symptoms. Support from best friends were not associated with (changes in) mental health.
这项纵向研究的目的是调查初显期成年人的心理健康与新冠疫情之间的关系,以及来自母亲、父亲和最好朋友的社会支持是否调节了心理健康状况。研究参与者为98名初显期成年人(46%为男性),他们在新冠疫情之前(平均年龄=20.60岁)和首次封锁期间(平均年龄=22.67岁)接受了评估。结果表明,疫情并非一律导致心理健康问题水平升高,而是取决于新冠疫情之前的心理健康问题水平和支持来源。对于在新冠疫情之前就已经经历了更多问题的初显期成年人来说,更多的母亲支持与一般心理困扰和抑郁症状的减轻有关,而更多的父亲支持与一般心理困扰和抑郁症状的减轻有关。来自最好朋友的支持与心理健康(的变化)无关。
