The COVID-19 pandemic created a host of difficulties for college students. There is research noting the unique vulnerability of this population's DASS symptoms and further connections of coping strategies. The current study aims to provide a snapshot of this unique time in higher education by examining the relationship between perceived difficulty, retrospectively, in the Spring 2020 semester and DASS symptoms in the Fall 2020 semester, and moderators of coping strategies in a sample of USA university students ( = 248; age = 21.08, SD = 4.63; 79.3% = Female). The results yielded a clear predictor relationship between perceived difficulty and symptoms of DASS. However, only problem-solving coping strategy proved a significant moderator for stress; surprisingly, problem-solving coping appeared to exacerbate the relationship. Implications for clinicians and higher education are discussed.
新冠疫情给大学生带来了诸多困难。有研究指出这一群体在抑郁、焦虑和压力量表（DASS）症状方面具有独特的脆弱性，以及应对策略的进一步关联。本研究旨在通过回顾性考察2020年春季学期感知到的困难与2020年秋季学期DASS症状之间的关系，以及美国大学生样本（n = 248；年龄 = 21.08，标准差 = 4.63；79.3%为女性）中应对策略的调节因素，来呈现高等教育这一独特时期的概况。结果显示感知到的困难与DASS症状之间存在明确的预测关系。然而，只有解决问题的应对策略被证明是压力的显著调节因素；令人惊讶的是，解决问题的应对方式似乎加剧了这种关系。文中还讨论了对临床医生和高等教育的启示。
