The pandemic of COVID-19 is now posing a worldwide hazard to one's health. Exposure to COVID-19 may cause negative emotions like anxiety, which is one of recognized risk factors for aggressive behaviors. This study looked into the effect of exposure to COVID-19 on aggression and how anxiety may act as a mediating factor, as well as lastly how rumination could moderate a variety of indirect paths during the epidemic of COVID-19. According to the current study's findings, which included a sizable sample of Chinese college students (N = 1,518), being exposed to COVID-19 showed a positive connection with aggression and anxiety, as well as rumination. These findings clarify the role that mediators play in the relationship between anxiety and exposure to COVID-19. The results are also helpful for personalizing treatments and putting preventative measures in place to decrease the aggression brought on by exposure to COVID-19. It is explored how lowering rumination and anxiety may be useful in the context of COVID-19 to lessen the psychopathological effects of the condition.
新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情目前正在对全球人类健康构成威胁。接触新冠病毒可能会引发焦虑等负面情绪，而焦虑是公认的攻击性行为风险因素之一。本研究探讨了接触新冠病毒对攻击性的影响，以及焦虑如何作为中介因素发挥作用，最后还研究了在新冠疫情期间反刍思维如何调节各种间接路径。根据本研究的结果，其中包括相当数量的中国大学生样本（N = 1518），接触新冠病毒与攻击性、焦虑以及反刍思维呈正相关。这些发现阐明了中介因素在焦虑与接触新冠病毒之间关系中所起的作用。研究结果也有助于进行个性化治疗并采取预防措施，以减少因接触新冠病毒而引发的攻击性。本研究探讨了在新冠疫情背景下，降低反刍思维和焦虑如何有助于减轻该疾病的心理病理影响。
