“…Additionally, individual differences have been shown in vulnerability to changes in the living environment, such as lockdowns, due to psychological and economic circumstances, such as anxiety and depression [23,24]. Although mandatory lockdowns have not been implemented in Japan, they have affected the mental health of college students through the burden of distance learning and its economic impact [25]. These findings suggest that a sense of mental burden may lead to a decrease in countermeasure behavior, because mental health and spare time availability make many countermeasure behaviors possible, and it takes time and effort to thoroughly implement countermeasure behaviors.…”

More than a year and a half has passed since the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic began, but according to the World Health Organization (WHO), the end is still a long way off. People must incorporate infection prevention behaviors into their daily lives, and the question for the future will not be whether or not to take countermeasures but how thoroughly to do so. In this study, I conducted an online survey of 1,200 Japanese adults and identified four patterns of implementation of preventive measures. Those who took the most preventive measures were highly alert to the risk of COVID-19 and had strong anxiety about infection. They also positively evaluated risk management by medical institutions and the government, and they had positive feelings in their daily lives. On the other hand, those who took minimal measures, mainly mask wearing and handwashing, and those who took less than minimal measures did not feel much risk or anxiety about COVID-19. However, they evaluated the responses of the government and medical institutions less highly and reported having more negative feelings in their daily lives.

The coronavirus disease (COVID‐19) has caused social isolation and loneliness among Japanese university students. Stress mindset, namely, beliefs about stress and its consequences, is related to mental health through emerging evidence. This study investigated the relationship between stress mindset and mental health during the COVID‐19 pandemic and assessed the mediating effect of coping behaviors. An online survey was conducted in mid‐October 2021 with 4,120 university students from 47 prefectures in Japan. Stress mindset (stress‐is‐enhancing and stress‐is‐debilitating mindsets), coping behaviors, and mental health (loneliness and depression) were measured. The results showed that the positive path from a stress‐is‐debilitating mindset to depression and loneliness, and the negative path from a stress‐is‐enhancing mindset to loneliness, were significant. Furthermore, the stress‐is‐enhancing mindset was mediated by vaccination status, inducing a decrease in loneliness; the stress‐is‐debilitating mindset was mediated by a decrease in part‐time jobs and extracurricular activities, and inducing an increase in loneliness and depression. Current findings indicate that stress mindset may influence the behavioral tendencies and mental health of Japanese university students during COVID‐19, comprising an internal resource to protect their mental health.

This paper reviews studies on adolescence into old age in the developmental division of the 64th Annual General Meeting of the Japanese Association of Educational Psychology held online from August 10 to September 10, 2022, and journal articles published in five domestic academic journals. As a result, it was shown that many of the studies targeting adolescents were related to specific problems in school and campus life, and many studies targeting adulthood were related to problems faced in social positions.Additionally, future contributions of developmental research to practical support concerning the complementary use of qualitative and quantitative research are discussed.
