Dating anxiety (i.e., anxiety experienced when initiating and/or maintaining a romantic connection) is prevalent in the college student population. Dating anxiety may contribute to psychological distress and diminished life satisfaction and has been found to be associated with depressive symptoms. The COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated preventative strategies that may negatively impact college students' ability to socialize and thus potentially worsen their mental health. The current study examined whether the relationship between dating anxiety and depressive symptoms was moderated by perceived impact of COVID-19. Participants included college students (N = 225) enrolled at a large Midwestern university and were 18-23 years of age (Mage = 18.95). Participants completed self-report measures of demographics, dating anxiety, perceived impact of COVID-19, and depressive symptoms. Depressive symptoms were significantly associated with dating anxiety, beta = .40, 95% CI [.292, .513], and COVID-19 impact, beta = .33, 95% CI [.220, .436]. The interaction term (Dating Anxiety x COVID-19 Impact) was significant, beta = .15, 95% CI [.062, .240], such that the relationship between higher dating anxiety and greater depressive symptoms strengthened as COVID-19 impact increased. Our findings demonstrate that increased dating anxiety is related to increased depressive symptoms, which are worsened by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. College students more strongly impacted by COVID-19 may have increased dating anxiety because of decreased exposure to social situations. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved) Impact Statement The current results have particular implications for mental health services provided to college students. Clinicians providing care to college students should consider the substantial challenges the COVID-19 pandemic presents for daily living, including dating, particularly for individuals who reported higher perceived impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Both benevolent and hostile ageism can have deleterious effects on older adults. Given the explicit ageist messages in the media, we anticipated increases in both benevolent and hostile ageism in the context of COVID-19. Moreover, we predicted that age and initial COVID-related concerns would influence both initial levels and change over time in ageism, with younger adults and those who were more concerned about COVID-19 exhibiting higher levels of both types of ageism. Adults (N = 325, M-age = 39.7) were surveyed at 5 time points across the first 4 months of the COVID-19 outbreak in the U.S. A series of growth curve analyses was conducted to examine individual differences in ageism and change over time for each type of ageism. We were able to detect individual differences in both benevolent and hostile ageism. Benevolent ageism and hostile ageism decreased over time. Although age and COVID-19 concerns were associated with initial levels of ageism, neither influenced the rate of change. Our results demonstrate that benevolent ageism and hostile ageism decreased over the first 4 months of the U.S. pandemic. As a dynamic situation, changes may require a longer period of time in order to be detected.
