Abstract
The purpose of this non-experimental study (N=228) was to explore the relationship between the big five personality traits, general anxiety, COVID-19 Anxiety, and rumination. An online questionnaire consisting of 4 scales was administered to undergraduate students. Scales assessed participant’s personality traits, general anxiety, COVID-19 Anxiety, and rumination. Hypotheses were tested using Hayes Process Macro (2020). All four of the hypotheses were partially supported. Results indicated that the personality traits of extraversion and neuroticism had a significant influence on rumination and that relationship was either mediated by COVID-19 Anxiety and moderated by general anxiety. Findings also indicated a link between COVID-19 Anxiety and general anxiety on rumination.
本非实验研究(N=228)的目的是探讨五大人格特质、一般焦虑、COVID-19焦虑和反刍之间的关系。对大学生进行了一份由4个量表组成的在线问卷调查。量表评估了参与者的人格特征、一般焦虑、COVID-19焦虑和反刍。使用Hayes Process Macro(2020)对假设进行了检验。所有四种假设都得到了部分支持。结果表明,外向型人格特质和神经质人格特质对反刍行为有显著影响,这种关系可能由新冠肺炎焦虑介导,也可能受到一般焦虑的调节。研究结果还表明,COVID-19焦虑与反刍时的一般焦虑之间存在联系。
