【摘要】COVID-19大流行对心理健康造成了巨大损失。与大流行相关的前所未有的不确定性可能是压力和焦虑的一个促成因素,尤其是在对不确定性高度不容忍的人中(Rettie & Daniels,2021)。认知闭合需求的个体差异也与不可预测情况下的精神困扰有关(Berenbaum 等,2008)。本研究检验了一个假设,即高度需要认知闭合的个体在COVID-19大流行期间会经历相对较高的压力和焦虑。大学生 (N=400) 完成了一个简化的封闭需求量表(Roets & Van Hiel,2011)、广泛性焦虑障碍量表(Spitzer 等人,2006)和简要感知压力量表(Cohen & 威廉姆森,1988)。结果支持了对认知闭合的高度需求与更高水平的压力和焦虑之间的假设关系。调查结果与在 COVID-19 大流行期间心理压力加大的大学生有关。【关键词】焦虑;COVID-19大流行;大学生;不确定性的不容忍;认知闭合需要;压力。
[Abstract] The COVID-19 pandemic has taken a massive toll on mental well-being. The unprecedented level of uncertainty associated with the pandemic may be a contributing factor to stress and anxiety, especially among individuals with high intolerance to uncertainty (Rettie & Daniels, 2021). Individual differences in need for cognitive closure have also been linked to mental distress during unpredictable situations (Berenbaum et al., 2008). The present study tested the hypothesis that individuals with a high need for cognitive closure would experience relatively higher stress and anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic. College students (N=400) completed an abbreviated Need for Closure Scale (Roets & Van Hiel, 2011), the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (Spitzer et al., 2006), and the short-version of the Perceived Stress Scale (Cohen & Williamson, 1988). Results supported the hypothesized relationship between high need for cognitive closure and higher levels of stress and anxiety. Findings have relevance to college students who are experiencing heightened psychological stress during the COVID-19 pandemic.
