Abstract

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of college students was investigated in a cross-sectional design using the Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI; Morey, 1991, 2007). Three large samples of college students were recruited for research purposes and given standard instructions: 825 students from two universities assessed in the 2021-2022 academic year (postpandemic), 558 students from three universities assessed between 2016 and 2019 (prepandemic), and 1,051 students from seven universities assessed in 1989 and 1990 (college norms). Comparisons of PAI scores with the prepandemic cohort revealed several significantly higher scores in the postpandemic cohort, especially for scales related to anxiety and depression. Comparisons with the college norms revealed significantly higher scores on several PAI scales in the prepandemic cohort, and these differences were largest for scales related to anxiety, depression, and somatic symptoms. PAI scales related to impulsivity, alcohol use, and other behavior problems showed no changes or decline from earlier to later cohorts. Taken together, the findings suggest that the COVID-19 pandemic has amplified problems with anxiety and depression that existed before the pandemic.

大学生心理健康危机?新冠肺炎大流行前后精神病理学的自我评价。
使用人格评估量表(PAI;Morey,19912007),在横断面设计中调查了新冠肺炎大流行对大学生心理健康的影响。三个大样本的大学生被招募用于研究目的,并接受标准指导:来自两所大学的825名学生在2021-2022学年(疫情后)接受评估,来自三所大学的558名学生(疫情前)在2016年至2019年接受评估,以及来自七所大学的1051名学生在1989年至1990年接受评估(大学规范)。PAI评分与疫情前队列的比较显示,疫情后队列的PAI评分明显更高,尤其是与焦虑和抑郁相关的量表。与大学常模的比较显示,在大流行前的队列中,几个PAI量表的得分明显更高,而与焦虑、抑郁和躯体症状相关的量表的这些差异最大。与冲动、饮酒和其他行为问题相关的PAI量表从早期到晚期没有变化或下降。综合来看,研究结果表明,新冠肺炎大流行加剧了大流行前存在的焦虑和抑郁问题。(PsycInfo数据库记录(c)2023 APA,保留所有权利)。
