Abstract

Critical public events, like COVID-19, significantly impact individuals’ emotional and mental health. People tend to use multi-level emotion regulation strategies (intrapersonal, interpersonal and hyper-personal) to cope with these events, resulting in various strategy profiles. However, few studies have examined ER strategies from a multilevel perspective. Therefore, this study examines the use of multi-level strategies during COVID-19, and evaluates the effectiveness of these strategies, with a particular interest in identifying strategy profiles promoting mental health. We conducted a two-wave study (an interval of 1 week) using online questionnaires during COVID-19, with an initial sample of 1,189 participants and 895 samples completing the surveys across the two waves. Cross-lagged analysis indicated that experiential avoidance was reciprocally positively related to negative emotions while perspective-taking and humorous-meme-saving were reciprocally positively related to life satisfaction or positive emotions over time. Cluster analysis suggested that there were 9 different profiles which scored differently on mental health indicators. Specifically, the use of multi-level strategies tended to be associated with greater positive emotions and life satisfaction while with lower negative emotions and loneliness. This study revealed that the use of multi-level strategies plays a protective role in mental health when facing critical public events. These findings expanded our understanding of how multilevel emotion regulation strategies impact mental health during critical public events and identify protective profiles for mental health.

在重大公共事件中使用多层次情绪调节策略:越多越好?
像 COVID-19 这样的重大公共事件会对个人的情绪和心理健康产生重大影响。人们倾向于使用多层次的情绪调节策略(人内、人际和超个人)来应对这些事件,从而形成了不同的策略特征。然而,很少有研究从多层次的角度研究情绪调节策略。因此,本研究考察了 COVID-19 期间多层次策略的使用情况,并对这些策略的有效性进行了评估,尤其关注识别促进心理健康的策略概况。我们在 COVID-19 期间使用在线问卷进行了两波研究(间隔时间为 1 周),初始样本为 1,189 名参与者,在两波研究中有 895 个样本完成了调查。交叉滞后分析表明,随着时间的推移,体验性回避与消极情绪互为正相关,而透视法和幽默挽回记忆法与生活满意度或积极情绪互为正相关。聚类分析表明,有 9 种不同的情况在心理健康指标上得分不同。具体来说,多层次策略的使用往往与较高的积极情绪和生活满意度相关,而与较低的消极情绪和孤独感相关。这项研究表明,在面对重大公共事件时,多层次策略的使用对心理健康起着保护作用。这些发现拓展了我们对多层次情绪调节策略如何在重大公共事件中影响心理健康的理解,并确定了心理健康的保护特征。
