“…Example items include “In the last month, how often have you been upset because of something that happened unexpectedly?” Higher scores indicate higher levels of perceived stress. Moreover, in the present study, the score corresponding to 1.5 SD above the Italian normative score [ 53 ] was used as a cut-off to divide participants into two classes: low perceived stress (males: PSS-10 score <24.35; females: PSS-10 score <24.55) and high perceived stress (males: PSS-10 score ≥24.35; females: PSS score-10 ≥24.55); The Italian Shortened Version of the Coping Orientations to the Problems Experienced (COPE-NVI-25; Cronbach’s alpha of factors range 0.68–0.95) [ 57 ]. The COPE-NVI-25 is a multi-dimensional inventory that assesses individual differences in coping styles.…”

The global SARS-CoV-2 outbreak and subsequent lockdown had a significant impact on people’s daily lives, with strong implications for stress levels due to the threat of contagion and restrictions to freedom. Given the link between high stress levels and adverse physical and mental consequences, the COVID-19 pandemic is certainly a global public health issue. In the present study, we assessed the effect of the pandemic on stress levels in N = 2053 Italian adults, and characterized more vulnerable individuals on the basis of sociodemographic features and stable psychological traits. A set of 18 psycho-social variables, generalized regressions, and predictive machine learning approaches were leveraged. We identified higher levels of perceived stress in the study sample relative to Italian normative values. Higher levels of distress were found in women, participants with lower income, and participants living with others. Higher rates of emotional stability and self-control, as well as a positive coping style and internal locus of control, emerged as protective factors. Predictive learning models identified participants with high perceived stress, with a sensitivity greater than 76%. The results suggest a characterization of people who are more vulnerable to experiencing high levels of stress during the COVID-19 pandemic. This characterization may contribute to early and targeted intervention strategies.

“…Loneliness was investigated with the Italian Loneliness Scale -ILS (Zammuner, 2008), which includes three sub-scales: Emotional, Social and General Loneliness. Coping strategies were assessed with the short version of the Coping Orientation to the Problems Experienced -COPE-NVI-25 (Foà et al, 2015), measuring different coping styles toward problems and stressful events, reflected in 5 scale sub-scores (Positive attitude, Problem orientation, Transcendence orientation, Social support, Avoidance strategies). Finally, we collected information about individuals' ability to identify and describe emotions experienced by one's self or others with the Toronto Alexithymia Scale -TAS-20 (Bressi et al, 1996).…”

Risk-Aversion for Negative Health Outcomes May Promote Individual Compliance to Containment Measures in Covid-19 Pandemic

et al. 2021

First-person experience of stressful life events can change individuals' risk attitudes, driving to increased or decreased risk perception. This shift to more risk-averse or risk-loving behaviors may find a correlate in the individual psycho-socio-emotional profile. To this purpose, we aimed to estimate the relationship between differences in risk-taking attitudes toward possible negative health outcomes and psycho-socio-emotional dimensions modulating the experience of life-threatening situations, in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. In March 2020, we launched the PsyCovid Study (https://wprn.org/item/428452) to assess psycho-socio-emotional changes due to Covid-19 pandemic in the Italian population. Additionally, we distributed to 130 participants the Covid-19 Risk Task, including monetary and health-related stimuli, estimating a measure of risk-aversion toward health and classifying participants on the basis of their risk-attitude profiles. The set of psycho-socio-emotional variables was reduced to three PCA components: Proactivity, Isolation, Inactivity. The individual degree of risk-aversion toward negative health outcomes was directly related to Proactivity, encasing empathic, social support and positive coping strategies, which may prompt individuals to put in place self-protection strategies toward possible negative health consequences. These findings indicate that a risk-averse profile toward possible negative health outcomes may be associated to higher levels of individual prosocial and proactive dispositions, possibly making individuals' more compliant with the social and hygienic guidelines and, thus, reducing their exposure to the SARS-CoV-2 infection.

“…Flesia et al (4) assessed the stressful impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy on 2,053 participants (M age = 35.81), using an ad hoc online questionnaire to investigate participants' sociodemographic variables, health conditions, and personal history with COVID-19. Furthermore, they also administered the 10-item Perceived Stress Scale [PSS-10; (8)], the Coping Orientations to the Problems Experienced [COPENVI-25; (9)] measure, and the 10-item Big Five Inventory [BFI-10; (10)]. The results showed that participants with high agreeableness, high conscientiousness, high emotional stability, and high extraversion had lower levels of psychological distress.…”

Personality and Lockdown: A Study on Italian Undergraduates During the COVID-19 Pandemic

et al. 2021

The current study aimed at increasing our understanding of the psychological impact of the COVID-19 lockdown on undergraduate students, particularly with respect to the association between personality traits; defense mechanisms (DMs); depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms (DASSs); and compliance with the government recommended health measures. A sample of 1,427 Italian undergraduate students were administered the Personality Inventory for the DSM-5—Brief Form; the Defense Style Questionnaire-40; and the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale-21. Compliance with the COVID-19 behavioral recommendations was measured through a 10-item survey measure. Results showed that immature DMs and internalizing personality traits (i.e., detachment, negative affect, psychoticism) were risk factors of DASSs. Furthermore, subjects with higher levels of DASSs appeared less compliant with the health measures recommended by the Italian government. Experts may use these results to identify and subsequently support (via the Internet) young subjects at greater risk of mental health problems as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
