“…This result is consistent with prior findings [3,9,57]. Our results also support the view that perceived stress is a critical antecedent of cyberloafing among college students, wherein technologies, such as mobile phones or computers, are used as a means of reducing the negative feelings and overwhelming emotions that are aroused [19,20]. Therefore, they may engage in cyberloafing behaviors.…”

“…They often face excessive pressure from family (e.g., concerning finding a job after graduation), social norms, and academic demands (e.g., difficulty of learning, fierce competition among peers for scholarships) [18]. College students who feel heightened stress and accompanying negative affective states may rely on technologies, such as mobile phones or computers, as a means for reducing their negative feelings and overwhelming emotions [19,20]. Based on the above research, we hypothesized that perceived stress would be positively associated with cyberloafing.…”

Cyberloafing has increasingly attracted the attention of scholars because of the widespread use of digital devices in educational environments. This research was conducted to investigate the roles of fatigue and negative coping styles in mediating the relationship between perceived stress and cyberloafing. A total of 730 undergraduates (reduced to 716 due to incomplete data) completed self-report questionnaires measuring perceived stress, fatigue, negative coping styles, and cyberloafing. Perceived stress was shown to be a significant predictor of cyberloafing. Furthermore, negative coping styles played a unique mediating role and fatigue and negative coping styles exerted a sequential mediating effect on the association between perceived stress and cyberloafing. We envision the findings as being helpful in guiding educators develop interventions for minimizing cyberloafing by college students and its disrupting effects.

“…The higher sum score of each subscale presents the more frequent usage of that coping style. The good reliability and construct validity have been confirmed in the Chinese population [ 26 , 27 ], and the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was 0.90 for positive coping style and 0.76 for negative coping style in this study.…”

Background Despite the substantial burden of caring schizophrenic patients, primary caregivers can also experience posttraumatic growth (PTG) which may buffer their negative experience. Influencing factors of PTG and their functional pathways among primary caregivers of schizophrenic patients remain unclear. This study is designed to test the simple and serial mediating roles of coping styles and resilience in the relationship between perceived social support and PTG among those primary caregivers. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted from October 2018 to January 2019, and 365 primary caregivers (self-reported) of schizophrenic patients were analyzed. Measures used to assess their perceived social support, coping styles, resilience, and PTG were the Perceived Social Support Scale, the Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire, the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, and the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory, respectively. Structural equation modeling was used to run the analysis. Results The average scores of PTG (range: 0–5), perceived social support (range: 1–7), positive coping style (range: 0–3), negative coping style (range: 0–3), resilience (range: 0–4) reported by primary caregivers was (2.91 ± 0.99), (4.80 ± 1.26), (1.79 ± 0.65), (1.49 ± 0.56), and (2.46 ± 0.66), respectively. The fitness indices of measurement and structural models were satisfactory. Three indirect pathways totally explained 55.56% variance of the PTG. The indirect effect of positive coping style between perceived social support and PTG was 0.20 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.05 to 0.37], and this simple mediation pathway explained 27.78% variance of PTG. The indirect effect of resilience between perceived social support and PTG was 0.11 [95% CI 0.01 to 0.20], and this simple mediation pathway explained 15.28% variance of PTG. The indirect effect of positive coping style and then resilience between perceived social support and PTG was 0.09 [95% CI 0.01 to 0.17], and this serial mediation pathway explained 12.50% variance of PTG. Conclusions Both simple and serial mediation roles of positive coping style and resilience are established in the relationship between perceived social support and PTG among primary caregivers of schizophrenic patients. Positive coping style and resilience are two important targets for future interventional studies, and interventions on them may bring the synergistic effect on improving PTG.
