摘要

新冠疫情的爆发给人类生活的各个领域都带来了变化。在当前的大流行时期，人类生活不仅承受着身体上的压力，还遭遇并忍受了多种精神压力。最近，人们采取了多种措施来让生活变得积极向上。本研究探讨了在新冠疫情期间，印度年轻人的希望、对公正世界的信念、新冠疫情与对政府的信任之间的关系。通过谷歌表单，使用成人希望量表、新冠焦虑量表、对公正世界的信念量表和对政府的信任量表等工具，从年轻人中在线收集数据。结果显示，希望、对公正世界的信念和对政府的信任这三个变量之间存在显著相关性。回归分析发现这三个变量对新冠焦虑有显著影响。此外，还发现对公正世界的信念在希望和新冠焦虑之间起中介作用。在充满挑战的时期，朝着正确的方向促进心理健康非常重要。文章进一步讨论了其影响。
