To test the explanatory power of coping strategies and intolerance of uncertainty on men's perceived stress levels and test the moderating role of coping strategies in the relationship between intolerance of uncertainty and perceived stress during the Covid-19 pandemic.
This was an online cross-sectional study in which 1,006 men living in Brazil during the Covid-19 pandemic participated. Participants were recruited using a snowball sampling technique and completed a questionnaire containing measures of all study variables. Data were examined using a correlation and a regression analysis.
Intolerance of uncertainty (β = .51) and refusal (β = .15) positively predicted perceived stress, whereas control (β = -.31) and isolation (β = -.06) negatively predicted it. Together, these variables explained 52% of men's perceived stress (p < .001). Isolation and social support lessened the relationship between intolerance of uncertainty and stress (p < .001).
Men high in intolerance of uncertainty and refusal were more vulnerable to stress during the pandemic. However, coping helped mitigate the relationship between intolerance of uncertainty and perceived stress, thus being a promising psychosocial intervention in this context.
检验应对策略和不确定性不耐受对男性感知压力水平的解释力,并检验应对策略在新冠疫情期间不确定性不耐受与感知压力关系中的调节作用。
这是一项在线横断面研究,1006名在新冠疫情期间居住在巴西的男性参与其中。采用滚雪球抽样技术招募参与者,并让他们完成一份包含所有研究变量测量指标的问卷。使用相关性分析和回归分析对数据进行检验。
不确定性不耐受(β = 0.51)和拒绝(β = 0.15)正向预测感知压力,而控制(β = -0.31)和孤立(β = -0.06)负向预测感知压力。这些变量共同解释了男性感知压力的52%(p < 0.001)。孤立和社会支持减弱了不确定性不耐受与压力之间的关系(p < 0.001)。
在疫情期间,不确定性不耐受和拒绝程度高的男性更容易受到压力影响。然而,应对有助于减轻不确定性不耐受与感知压力之间的关系,因此在这种情况下是一种有前景的心理社会干预措施。
