The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic was associated with robust declines in well-being for collegiate student-athletes. Worries about COVID-19 have frequently been associated with worsening well-being; therefore, it is important to examine protective factors against well-being decrements. Resilience, one's ability to respond to stress and adversity, may be one such factor. Despite this possible influence, resilience has not yet been studied in student-athletes in this context as the pandemic has progressed. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the moderating role of resilience on the relationship between COVID-19 worries and well-being. In this cross-sectional design, National Collegiate Athletic Association Division III athletes ( = 91) at one university completed surveys on COVID-19 worries, resilience, and well-being between February and March 2021. All competitions had been postponed until the Spring 2021 semester. The findings revealed a negative correlation between COVID-19 worries and well-being ( = -0.21, = 0.05) and a positive correlation between resilience and well-being ( = 0.44, < 0.001). Additionally, multiple regression and simple slopes analyses showed that individuals with higher resilience endorsed greater scores of well-being, even when COVID-19 worries increased (β = 0.38, = 0.02). In conclusion, our results suggest that resilience had a moderating effect on the relationship between COVID-19 worries and well-being.
新冠疫情的爆发与大学生运动员的幸福感大幅下降有关。对新冠疫情的担忧常常与幸福感恶化相关；因此，研究抵御幸福感下降的保护因素很重要。心理韧性，即一个人应对压力和逆境的能力，可能就是这样一个因素。尽管有这种可能的影响，但随着疫情的发展，尚未在这一背景下对学生运动员的心理韧性进行研究。因此，本研究的目的是考察心理韧性在新冠疫情担忧与幸福感之间关系中的调节作用。在这项横断面设计中，一所大学的全国大学体育协会第三分部的运动员（n = 91）在2021年2月至3月期间完成了关于新冠疫情担忧、心理韧性和幸福感的调查。所有比赛都推迟到2021年春季学期。研究结果显示，新冠疫情担忧与幸福感之间呈负相关（r = -0.21，p = 0.05），心理韧性与幸福感之间呈正相关（r = 0.44，p < 0.001）。此外，多元回归和简单斜率分析表明，即使新冠疫情担忧增加，心理韧性较高的个体的幸福感得分也更高（β = 0.38，p = 0.02）。总之，我们的结果表明，心理韧性在新冠疫情担忧与幸福感之间的关系中具有调节作用。
