“…We found no indication for low data quality (e.g., extremely short response times) which was in line with prior research on the adequacy of online studies as compared to traditional methods ( Gosling et al, 2004 ). Fourth, there is considerable incoherence in classifying individual coping strategies into higher-order coping strategies ( Folkman and Moskowitz, 2004 , see also Solberg et al, 2021 for a recent review). Further coping research could benefit significantly from coherent classifications that are derived from factorial validation efforts and are then comparable across studies.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has posed significant burden across different industrial sectors. Generally, an increase in psychological stress experiences has been reported, while the stress and coping responses of specific, potentially burdened populations have received less attention thus far. Thus, the present study investigated relations between individual (i.e., extraversion, neuroticism, conscientiousness) and organizational (i.e., organizational commitment and study satisfaction) factors, indicators of psychological health (i.e., loneliness, life satisfaction, COVID-19-related stress), and possible mediating effects of four broad coping dimensions (active coping, avoidant coping, social support, positive cognitive restructuring) in a specific sample of soldier students who engage in a double-role being military affiliates and students of non-military subjects. To this end, we assessed data of soldier students at two measurement points (N = 106 at t1 and N = 63 at t2) shortly after the second national lockdown in Germany (20. May 2021 to 11. July 2021) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Personality traits showed expected associations with indicators of psychological health, i.e., positive relations between neuroticism and social loneliness, between extraversion and COVID-19 stress, and negative relations between neuroticism and life satisfaction. Remarkably, organizational variables showed effects above and beyond personality traits on loneliness and life satisfaction. Neither individual, nor organizational factors could predict change in psychological health over time. We found evidence for mediation effects through active coping, avoidant coping, and the use of social support, but not through positive cognitive restructuring. Findings highlight the relative importance of organizational factors besides personality traits for psychological health in a military student sample, holding important implications for designing efficient support systems in the military.

“…The Brief COPE utilizes a four‐point response set indicating the degree to which a respondent engages in a coping response, ranging from 0 (“Usually I do not do this at all”) to 3 (“Usually I do this a lot”). The Brief COPE has demonstrated clinically relevant outcomes across a wide variety of stressful situations and diverse populations (e.g., Peters et al., 2020 ; Solberg et al., 2021 ).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has had an unprecedented psychological impact, revealing immense emotional disturbances among the general population. This study examined the extent to which social connectedness, dispositional mindfulness, and coping moderate symptoms of anxiety and depression in 1242 adults under the same government-issued COVID-19 stay-at-home mandate. Participants completed measures of anxiety, depression, dispositional mindfulness, social connectedness, and coping, and regression analyses were used to examine associations and interaction effects. Results indicated that social connectedness and dispositional mindfulness were associated with reduced symptoms. For individuals living with a partner, decreased mindfulness and avoidant coping were associated with anxious symptoms. In households with children, overutilization of approach coping served to increase symptoms of depression. Results indicate the importance of considering social connectedness, mindfulness, and coping in counseling to enhance factors serving to protect clients during a public health crisis. Implications for professional counselors and areas of future research are discussed.

“…2 Thus, we withheld analyses involving the Distraction subscale. It is worth noting there is some debate on the appropriate factor structure of the Brief COPE (Solberg et al, 2022), but coping mechanisms as measured via this inventory have been associated with outcomes such as resilience among liver transplant candidates (Amoyal et al, 2016), symptom severity among patients with schizophrenia (Meyer, 2001), and stress and wellbeing among individuals with disabilities during the COVID-19 pandemic (Umucu & Lee, 2020).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in unprecedented stressors for college students, and minority stress faced by LGBTQ+ college students has been exacerbated by the pandemic. Associations between stress and sexual desire are complex, but research suggests that stress may be associated with higher solitary sexual desire and lower dyadic sexual desire. The current study examined associations between sexual desire and a multidimensional measure of pandemic stress among LGBTQ+ and cisgender, heterosexual (cis-het) college students. Participants (N = 377, 57% LGBTQ+) completed an online survey during the Spring 2021 semester that included the Sexual Desire Inventory and a multidimensional COVID Stress Measure. LGBTQ+ students reported higher stress in multiple domains—isolation, academics, living situation, concerns about racism and prejudice, and health care access—relative to cis-het students. For LGBTQ+ and cis-het students, higher overall COVID stress, as well as higher stress related specifically to isolation and to the virus itself, were associated with higher solitary and dyadic sexual desire. Greater concern about racism and prejudice during the pandemic was associated with higher solitary sexual desire, especially for LGBTQ+ students. Our findings underscore the importance of sexuality as a means of seeking connection during an event that disrupted college students’ lives in many ways. We highlight implications for university professionals, particularly the need to support LGBTQ+-affirming organizations, mental health resources, and sexual health resources as students return to college campuses.
