Abstract

Objective: The present study examines sociopolitical stress, coping, and well-being among college students. Participants: Young adult college students (N = 588; ages 18-29; 72% cisgender women) from 10 universities in the USA participated in this study. Methods: Participants completed a 45-minute online survey with closed-ended and open-ended questions, administered via Qualtrics. Results: Election-related sociopolitical stress was high with notable differences across students' demographic backgrounds (e.g., Hispanic/Latinx students, women, and sexual minority students reported high sociopolitical stress). Among those who reported being stressed by the election (N = 448), closed-ended and open-ended data reveal coping strategies including self-care, drugs and alcohol, and further civic action/political participation. Higher sociopolitical stress predicted more depression and many coping strategies were related with flourishing. Conclusions: Young adult college students are experiencing election-related sociopolitical stress and are coping in different ways. More work is needed to understand what coping strategies support well-being. Implications for colleges are discussed.

美国大学生与选举相关的社会政治压力和应对方法。

研究目的本研究探讨大学生的社会政治压力、应对方法和幸福感。参与者：来自 10 所大学的青年大学生（人数 = 588；年龄 18-29 岁；72% 为顺性女性）：来自美国 10 所大学的青年大学生（588 人；18-29 岁；72% 为顺性女性）参加了本研究。研究方法参与者通过 Qualtrics 完成了一项 45 分钟的在线调查，其中包含封闭式问题和开放式问题。调查结果显示与选举相关的社会政治压力很大，不同学生的人口背景存在明显差异（例如，西班牙裔/拉丁裔学生、女性和性少数群体学生的社会政治压力较大）。在报告受到选举压力的学生中（人数= 448），封闭式和开放式数据揭示了应对策略，包括自我保健、药物和酒精，以及进一步的公民行动/政治参与。较高的社会政治压力预示着更多的抑郁，而许多应对策略则与蓬勃发展有关。结论年轻的成年大学生正经历着与选举相关的社会政治压力，并以不同的方式应对。我们需要做更多的工作来了解哪些应对策略有助于提高幸福感。本文还讨论了对高校的启示。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
