The current study examines possible mediating and moderating mechanisms in the relationship between negative life events associated with COVID-19 and psychological distress. A total of 450 adults (mean age = 22.11 years, SD = 3. 46 years) participated in this study. The participants completed measures of negative life events, psychological distress, and irrational/rational beliefs. The present findings indicated that adverse life events associated with COVID-19 predict psychological distress in adults. The findings also indicated that indirect predictive effect of adverse life events associated with COVID-19 on psychological distress via irrational beliefs varies depending on specific value of rational beliefs. The current study contributes to existing cognitive vulnerability model by documenting when and how adverse life events associated with COVID-19 influence psychological distress.
本研究探讨了与新冠疫情相关的负面生活事件和心理困扰之间关系中可能的中介和调节机制。共有450名成年人(平均年龄 = 22.11岁,标准差 = 3.46岁)参与了本研究。参与者完成了负面生活事件、心理困扰以及非理性/理性信念的测量。目前的研究结果表明,与新冠疫情相关的不良生活事件可预测成年人的心理困扰。研究结果还表明,与新冠疫情相关的不良生活事件通过非理性信念对心理困扰产生的间接预测作用会因理性信念的具体值而有所不同。本研究通过记录与新冠疫情相关的不良生活事件何时以及如何影响心理困扰,为现有的认知易感性模型做出了贡献。
