“…Highly neurotic individuals carried negative interpretive cognitive schemas ( Swickert and Owens, 2010 ). Neuroticism was previously found to be strongly related to poor well-being ( Anglim and Grant, 2016 ; Han et al., 2021 ) and to have a direct negative effect on life satisfaction ( Pocnet et al., 2016 ). Moreover, the mediating effect of life satisfaction was partly consistent with the recently reported finding ( Hatice and Özkan, 2019 ; Hufer and Riemann, 2021 ).…”

Aims To explore the structural characteristics and influential factors of psychological stress of urban residents in Jiangxi province during the COVID-19 pandemic through a survey of psychological stress, personality traits, family function and life satisfaction. Methods By the convenient sampling, 1422 urban residents from Jiangxi province were assessed with Eysenck Personality Questionnaire Short Scale (EPQ-RSC), Psychological Questionnaires for Emergent Events of Public Health (PQEEPH), Family APGAR Scale (APGAR) and Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS). The relation among personality traits, psychological stress, family function and life satisfaction during the COVID-19 pandemic was analyzed by using the canonical correlation analysis and the serial mediation model. Results (1) Among the estimated correlation coefficients, the first two pairs were significant ( P < 0.001 in each). (2) In the first pair of canonical variables, the loadings of neuroticism and neurasthenia were the higher (0.94, 0.70). (3) Neuroticism and life satisfaction mediated the relationship between family function and neurasthenia ( β neuroticism = -0.174; 95%CI:-0.224, -0.134; β life satisfaction = -0.034, 95%CI:-0.012, -0.062), respectively. In addition, serial mediation analyses indicated that the association of family function and neurasthenia is mediated by neuroticism and life satisfaction in a sequential manner ( β = -0.010; 95%CI:-0.020, -0.004). Conclusions During the COVID-19 pandemic, neuroticism was closely related to psychological stress of urban residents, especially neurasthenia. In addition, the serial mediating effect of neuroticism and life satisfaction played an important role in the process of family function influencing neurasthenia. These findings contributed to a more comprehensive understanding of the influential factors for psychological stress of urban residents during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…From this perspective, parental care/control as a secure/insecure attachment pattern may promote/harm individuals' sense of security and then influence the development of neurotic personality (Shu et al, 2007). Second, neuroticism has been negatively associated with measures of social support (Han et al, 2021;Zhou et al, 2019). Finally, according to the Social Support Deterioration model, individuals who do not receive enough social support tend to experience more depressive symptoms (Qi et al, 2020).…”

This study aims to examine the influence of parental care/control on depressive symptoms and the mediating roles of neuroticism and social support in their association among Chinese college students during the COVID-19. A sample of 2561 college students with an age range of 16 -26 (M age = 18.37, SD = 1.13, 29.05% boys) completed the care and control subscales of the Parental Bonding Instrument, the Beck Depression Inventory-II, the neuroticism scale of the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire, and the Social Support Rating Scale. Structural equation models indicated that parental care/control negatively/ positively predicted depressive symptoms. Furthermore, neuroticism and social support mediated the relationship between parental care/control and depressive symptoms, separately and sequentially. These findings may advance our understanding of the influences of multiple factors on Chinese college students' depressive symptoms under the background of COVID-19.

“…A 5-point score is used, ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree), with a higher score reflecting a higher level of perceived social support. The scale was successfully used among Chinese children and early adolescents (Han et al, 2021;Zhao et al, 2021). Cronbach's alpha for this study was .88.…”

PurposePrevious studies have shown that early adolescents living in chaotic homes exhibit worse physical and mental health. However, the potential protective factors for the links between household chaos and early adolescents’ health are still unknown. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine whether perceived social support moderates the associations among household chaos, physical health and mental health among Chinese rural early adolescents.MethodsPhysical health was measured by general health and allostatic load (AL). Mental health was reflected by depression and life satisfaction. Specifically, early adolescents (N =350; Mage =10.88 ±1.36 years) from Chinese rural counties reported their household chaos, perceived social support, general health, depression and life satisfaction. AL scores were measured by six physiological indices. Meanwhile, the adolescents’ parents reported their family income.ResultsThe results showed that household chaos was negatively correlated with adolescents’ general health and life satisfaction but positively correlated with depression. In addition, perceived social support moderated the link between household chaos and early adolescents’ health. Specifically, the negative associations among household chaos and general health, depression and life satisfaction were weaker among those who reported higher levels of perceived social support. In addition, adolescents’ AL was independent of household chaos, perceived social support and their interactions.ConclusionsHousehold chaos is a risk factor for physical and mental health among early adolescents living in rural China. Perceived social support mitigates risks to rural adolescents’ physical and mental health.
