The COVID-19 pandemic was a stressful event for all. It threatened people's physical and mental health. Previous studies have found that resilience can help people deal with stress and difficulties more effectively and prevent them from mental health problems. Coping style mediates the relationship between resilience and psychological well-being. Given the novelty and recency of the COVID-19, it is unknown whether resilience can also protect individuals in new difficulties, and whether the previous effective coping styles can be applied to new situations. The current study aimed to explore the influence mechanism of college students' resilience on negative stress response during the pandemic, and the chain mediation of coping style and positive adaptive response. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 910 college students (M = 20.58 years; 41.1% men, 58.9% women) studying in Shanghai by stratified random cluster sampling. At that time, they were in 27 different provinces and cities because of the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. The research tools included Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ), Positive Adaptive Response Questionnaire (PARQ), and Negative Stress Reaction Questionnaire (NSRQ). The results showed that: (1) College students' resilience, coping style, positive adaptive response and negative stress reaction were significantly correlated with each other; (2) Resilience could not directly affect negative stress reaction, but it could affect negative stress reaction through the chain mediation of coping style and positive adaptive response. These findings suggest that resilience enhancement intervention programs need to focus on the cultivation of individual positive coping style; In response to major emergencies such as the COVID-19 pandemic, officials can help people reduce negative stress reaction by disseminating positive coping strategies through the media.
新冠疫情对所有人来说都是一个充满压力的事件。它威胁着人们的身心健康。先前的研究发现，心理韧性可以帮助人们更有效地应对压力和困难，并预防心理健康问题。应对方式在心理韧性和心理健康之间起中介作用。鉴于新冠疫情的新颖性和近期性，尚不清楚心理韧性是否也能在新的困难中保护个体，以及以前有效的应对方式是否能应用于新的情况。本研究旨在探讨大学生心理韧性在疫情期间对负面应激反应的影响机制，以及应对方式和积极适应反应的链式中介作用。通过分层随机整群抽样对在上海学习的910名大学生（M = 20.58岁；男性41.1%，女性58.9%）进行了问卷调查。当时，由于新冠疫情封锁，他们身处27个不同的省市。研究工具包括Connor-Davidson心理韧性量表（CD-RISC）、简易应对方式问卷（SCSQ）、积极适应反应问卷（PARQ）和负面应激反应问卷（NSRQ）。结果表明：（1）大学生的心理韧性、应对方式、积极适应反应和负面应激反应之间存在显著相关性；（2）心理韧性不能直接影响负面应激反应，但可以通过应对方式和积极适应反应的链式中介作用影响负面应激反应。这些发现表明，增强心理韧性的干预项目需要关注个体积极应对方式的培养；针对新冠疫情等重大突发事件，官方可以通过媒体传播积极的应对策略来帮助人们减少负面应激反应。
