Abstract

Introduction: This longitudinal study examined trajectories of depression, perceived burdensomeness (PB), thwarted belongingness (TB), and suicidality among emerging adults (18-24 years old) during the early COVID-19 pandemic. Demographic and contextual differences were explored. The study also examined how COVID-related stressors predicted mental health trajectories over time. Methods: One hundred ninety-eight participants completed three waves of online surveys between May and July 2020. Results: Depressive symptoms decreased marginally over time, but there were no changes in participants’ PB, TB, suicidality, or likelihood of becoming clinically depressed. No demographic differences emerged. Participants who were under stay-at-home orders (vs. not) were more likely to endorse suicidality over time. Engaging with COVID-19-related media or talking about COVID-19 predicted greater TB and marginally greater suicide risk, but not depression or PB, over time. Those who endorsed a greater negative impact on their lives related to COVID-19 also reported greater depression, PB, TB, and suicidality over time. Discussion: The marginal decrease in depressive symptoms likely suggests that participants’ distress reduced over time. However, clinical depression, PB, TB, and suicidality remained stable and high. Watching news and talking about COVID-19 might increase suicide risk and heighten feelings of disconnection.

新冠肺炎大流行早期新兴成年人的抑郁、感知负担、受挫的归属感和自杀风险轨迹
本纵向研究调查了COVID-19大流行早期新成年(18-24岁)中抑郁、感知负担(PB)、受挫归属感(TB)和自杀的轨迹。探讨了人口统计学和背景差异。该研究还研究了与covid相关的压力因素如何随着时间的推移预测心理健康轨迹。方法:198名参与者在2020年5月至7月期间完成了三波在线调查。结果:随着时间的推移,抑郁症状略有减少,但参与者的PB、TB、自杀倾向或成为临床抑郁症的可能性没有变化。没有人口统计学上的差异。随着时间的推移,被要求呆在家里的参与者(与不被要求呆在家里的参与者)更有可能支持自杀。随着时间的推移,参与与COVID-19相关的媒体或谈论COVID-19预示着更大的结核病和略高的自杀风险,但不会导致抑郁症或结核病。随着时间的推移,那些认为与COVID-19相关的生活受到更大负面影响的人也报告了更大的抑郁、肺结核、结核病和自杀倾向。讨论:抑郁症状的轻微减少可能表明参与者的痛苦随着时间的推移而减少。然而,临床抑郁、PB、TB和自杀率保持稳定且较高。看新闻和谈论COVID-19可能会增加自杀风险,加剧与外界脱节的感觉。

期刊介绍: This journal is devoted to the application of theory and research from social psychology toward the better understanding of human adaptation and adjustment, including both the alleviation of psychological problems and distress (e.g., psychopathology) and the enhancement of psychological well-being among the psychologically healthy. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) traditionally defined psychopathology (e.g., depression), common emotional and behavioral problems in living (e.g., conflicts in close relationships), the enhancement of subjective well-being, and the processes of psychological change in everyday life (e.g., self-regulation) and professional settings (e.g., psychotherapy and counseling). Articles reporting the results of theory-driven empirical research are given priority, but theoretical articles, review articles, clinical case studies, and essays on professional issues are also welcome. Articles describing the development of new scales (personality or otherwise) or the revision of existing scales are not appropriate for this journal.
