Abstract

A growing body of research suggests that the COVID-19 pandemic did not cause the severe and extensive mental health crisis predicted by some experts. However, this does not mean that everyone was resilient. The purpose of this study was to try to identify subgroups of people that may have experienced more severe and negative trajectories of symptoms during this time. To this end, we examined a host of individual difference factors (e.g., age, gender, race, country, parental status, medical conditions, lost wages, perceived support, initial symptom levels, and cognitive vulnerability) using a 1-year longitudinal design with 8 time points and participants (n = 233) from over 20 countries. We were unable to identify a single moderator associated with a robust and increasingly negative trajectory of depressive and anxious symptoms throughout the COVID interval. These results underscore the need for better theories of mental illness, stronger research designs that do not rely on simple cross-sectional between-group comparisons, and more caution when predicting mental health crises.

在 COVID-19 的第一年跟踪抑郁症状和焦虑症状:寻找调节因素
越来越多的研究表明,COVID-19 大流行并没有造成一些专家所预测的严重和广泛的心理健康危机。然而,这并不意味着每个人都具有复原力。本研究的目的是试图找出在此期间可能出现更严重和更消极症状的人群。为此,我们采用为期一年的纵向设计,考察了一系列个体差异因素(如年龄、性别、种族、国家、父母状况、医疗条件、工资损失、感知支持、初始症状水平和认知脆弱性),共设 8 个时间点,参与者(n = 233)来自 20 多个国家。在整个 COVID 间期,我们无法找到一个与抑郁和焦虑症状稳健且日益消极的轨迹相关的单一调节因子。这些结果表明,我们需要更完善的精神疾病理论,更强大的研究设计,而不是依赖于简单的横截面组间比较,并在预测心理健康危机时更加谨慎。
