Many studies have shown the negative impact of lockdowns on adolescents, but there is less evidence on how they are affected by other stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, and, especially, whether there are any differences between early and late adolescence. The current study focuses on the frustration felt by adolescents because of the severe COVID-19 restrictions in a non-lockdown situation. We aimed to (a) assess the role of maturity and two personality traits (emotional stability and extraversion) in predicting their frustration, and (b) compare the levels of frustration, depressive symptoms, and life satisfaction in older and younger adolescents. The sample of older adolescents was also compared with a paired sample of the same age collected in 2018, before the pandemic. The results suggest that maturity, extraversion and emotional stability are predictors of frustration in both older and younger adolescents, although older adolescents reported higher levels of frustration and depressive symptoms, and lower levels of life satisfaction. Older adolescents also reported higher levels of depressive symptoms than adolescents of the same age before the pandemic. These results show the negative impact of the pandemic, especially on older adolescents, and the important role of maturity and some personality traits in predicting their frustration.
许多研究表明封锁对青少年有负面影响，但关于他们如何受到新冠疫情其他阶段的影响，尤其是青春期早期和晚期之间是否存在差异的证据较少。当前的研究聚焦于在非封锁情况下，青少年因新冠疫情的严格限制而产生的挫败感。我们旨在（a）评估成熟度和两种人格特质（情绪稳定性和外向性）在预测他们的挫败感方面的作用，以及（b）比较年长和年轻青少年的挫败感、抑郁症状和生活满意度水平。还将年长青少年的样本与2018年疫情前收集的同年龄配对样本进行了比较。结果表明，成熟度、外向性和情绪稳定性是年长和年轻青少年挫败感的预测因素，尽管年长青少年报告的挫败感和抑郁症状水平较高，生活满意度水平较低。年长青少年报告的抑郁症状水平也高于疫情前同年龄的青少年。这些结果显示了疫情的负面影响，尤其是对年长青少年的影响，以及成熟度和一些人格特质在预测他们的挫败感方面的重要作用。
