“…Teacher emotional support helps vocational college students build up resilience and reversely, resilience helped promote students’ perception of the support from teachers. The previous study also showed that support significantly correlated with resilience (Yang et al, 2018 ; Ye et al, 2022 ). In addition the findings in the study showed that the Covid-19 anxiety has a partial mediating role in the relationships between teacher emotional support and mental well-being, as well as between resilience and mental well-being, that is, both teacher emotional support and resilience have effects on Covid-19 anxiety and Covid-19 anxiety affects mental well-being.…”

“…In fact, being able to turn to others for support is a key component of being resilient which like wise can be enhanced by various protective behaviors, such as social support (Yang et al, 2018 ). Ye et al ( 2022 ) examined the relation between perceived parental support and resilience among college students during Covid-19 and found that there was a significantly positive correlation between them. A bi-directional relationship has been identified between teacher emotional support and resilience (e.g., Labrague & De los Santos, 2020 ).…”

“…All age groups were reported to have adverse mental and psychological health problems caused by the pandemic, among whom college students were considered as one of the vulnerable groups. They were at more increased risk for anxiety because of the disruptions of abnormal academic study and restricted social life on campus, and the pre-existing higher level of psychological distress (e.g., Ye et al, 2022 ). In China, most vocational college students come from the background of low economical status, and tend to be more anxious about their academic achievements and future work than their counterparts in other types of higher education (e.g., Yang, 2020 ).…”

This study aimed to examine the relations between perceived teacher emotional support, Covid-19 anxiety, resilience, and mental well-being among Chinese vocational college students during Covid-19 pandemic. A sample of Chinese vocational college students ( n = 1469) were surveyed with an online questionnaire composed of Teacher Emotional Support, Covid-19 Anxiety Scale, Brief Resilience Scale and Mental Well-being in Chinese version. Path analysis was employed in the study and the results showed that teacher emotional support was an important promoter for building up mental well-being but not a buffer for Covid-19 within Chinese cultural context, and the Covid-19 anxiety was significantly and negatively related to mental well-being. Resilience hindered the incidences of Covid-19 anxiety and was a significant protector for mental well-being. Covid-19 anxiety mediated the both relations between teacher emotional support and mental well-being, and resilience and mental well-being. These findings provided practical implications for coping with psychological problems and flourishing mental well-being among Chinese vocational college students.

“…10- 13 Indeed, evidence has also suggested that difficulties in regulating emotions are risk factors for psychological problems, such as depression and stress, 14 and that reappraisal and suppression are mediators in the relationship between perceived parental support and depression. 15 Previous studies have indicated that secure attachment protects against psychological problems, while insecure attachment increases the risk of psychological problems. [16][17][18] Reviews indicate that insecure attachment is related to susceptibility to physical illness and poor illness prognosis.…”

Background and objectives:The COVID-19 pandemic has caused symptoms of anxiety, distress, and depression in the general population. In order to develop interventions that target psychological problems, it is necessary to determine individual factors that have an impact on the development of psychological problems. The present study examined the effects of emotion dysregulation, attachment style and perceived social support on psychological problems in the context of COVID-19 using a sample of people living in Türkiye. Methods:The sample consisted of 517 participants. In addition to the Demographic and COVID-19-related Information Form, a number of questionnaires were used, including the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21), Experiences in Close Relationships Revised (ECR-R), Impact of Event Scale Revised (IES-R), Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale-Brief Form (DERS-16), and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS). Results:The findings revealed that perceived social support, emotion dysregulation and attachment anxiety did not have serial mediation effects in the relationship between the impact of COVID-19, and depression or stress. However, there were serial mediating effects of perceived social support, emotion dysregulation, and attachment anxiety in the relationship between the impact of COVID-19 and anxiety. That is, the effects of the impact of COVID-19 (X) on anxiety (Y) through emotion dysregulation (M2) and attachment anxiety (M3) (bootstrap = 0.007, 95% CI = −0.001, 0.015), and through perceived social support, emotion dysregulation, and attachment anxiety (bootstrap = 0.005, 95% CI = 0.001, 0.013) were significant. Conclusion:These findings suggest the role of individual appraisals in the initial stages of the COVID-19 outbreak.

“…Considering the association between cognitive reappraisal and depression and the fact that loneliness is a risk factor of depression ( Rossi et al, 2020 ; Santini et al, 2020 ; Thakur and Jain, 2020 ), therefore, it is theoretically possible that cognitive reappraisal could influence the association between loneliness and depression. Previous research has found that the emotion regulation strategies played a mediation role in college students’ depressive symptoms during the COVID-19 pandemic ( Ye et al, 2022 ). However, another study found that cognitive reappraisal was negatively associated with anxiety and depression, but expressive suppression was not associated with them during the early COVID-19 pandemic ( Tyra et al, 2021 ).…”

Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in December 2019, millions of people have been infected with the disease. The COVID-19 pandemic also produced severe mental health problems, such as loneliness and depression. The present study aimed to examine the mediating role of cognitive reappraisal and moderating role of resilience in the relationship between young adults’ loneliness and depression during the pandemic by adopting a cross-sectional research approach. In March 2020, 654 young adults (18–29 years old) were recruited to complete the measures for loneliness, depression, emotion regulation, and resilience. Results found that loneliness was positively and moderately associated with depression (r = 0.531, p < 0.001), and that both loneliness and depression were separately negatively associated with cognitive reappraisal (r = −0.348, p < 0.001; r = −0.424, p < 0.001) and resilience (r = −0.436, p < 0.001; r = −0.419, p < 0.001). The results indicated that both loneliness and depression were not associated with expressive suppression (r = 0.067, p = 0.087; r = −0.002, p = 0.961). The moderated mediation model results revealed that only cognitive reappraisal partially mediated the relationship between loneliness and depression (b = −0.301; Boot 95% CI = −0.388, −0.215). In addition, the results of the moderated mediation model indicated that resilience moderated the association between loneliness and depression (b = 0.035, p < 0.001, Boot 95% CI = 0.014, 0.055), while also moderated the impact of cognitive reappraisal on depression (b = −0.031, p < 0.001, Boot 95% CI = −0.058, −0.005). These findings have practical implications that broaden our understanding of depression in young adults and shed light on how to enhance cognitive reappraisal and resilience as a means of combating depression in this age group during the COVID-19 pandemic.
