The pandemic-related lifestyle has potentially imposed crucial disturbances on daily and long-term activities, which, in turn, were associated with thought disturbance. This study investigates how the characteristics of the activity system during pandemic-related restrictions are associated with other psychomental aspects. By focusing on PTSD, mentalization, and schizotypal personality, and by inquiring about the main components of the activity system of 852 college students (Zhengzhou, Henan, China)- including the goals orienting their activity, goals' terms and types, the motivation levels and sources, the activity type and engagement time, the flow of the activity, and how due to pandemic lifestyle-results revealed that the activity system's components have significant associations with PTSD, reflective function, and schizotypal traits. Additionally, some of the activity system's elements have a significant predictive role regarding schizotypal traits. The study considered that the life narrative during the pandemic has been disturbed; hence, this may have a crucial effect on mind coherence. Additionally, the outcomes from the pandemic context will support mental health interventions in other similar contexts where the life narrative is severely affected.
与疫情相关的生活方式可能会对日常和长期活动产生重大干扰，而这些活动反过来又与思维障碍有关。本研究调查了与疫情相关的限制期间活动系统的特征如何与其他心理方面相关。通过关注创伤后应激障碍、心理化和精神分裂型人格，并询问 852 名大学生（中国河南郑州）活动系统的主要组成部分，包括指导他们活动的目标、目标的条件和类型、动机水平和来源、活动类型和参与时间、活动流程以及由于疫情生活方式的影响，结果表明，活动系统的组成部分与创伤后应激障碍、反思功能和精神分裂型特征有显著关联。此外，活动系统的一些要素对于精神分裂型特征具有显著的预测作用。该研究认为，疫情期间的生活叙事受到了干扰；因此，这可能对思维的连贯性产生重大影响。此外，疫情背景下的结果将为其他类似生活叙事受到严重影响的背景下的心理健康干预提供支持。
