Abstract

Objective:To explore the characteristics of coping style of college students and the mediation effect of resilience in the influence of self-acceptance on coping style under the stress of COVID-19.
Methods:In the period and areas of severe epidemic in China, a questionnaire was used to investigate the coping style, self-acceptance, and resilience of a total of 398 college students from Guangzhou; SPSS was used for significance test of difference and correlation analysis; AMOS was used for structural equation modeling.
Results:Under the stress of COVID-19, college students showed the following psychological characteristics: 1) the means of the positive coping style 2.09(0.40) and the negative coping style 1.54(0.49) were significantly higher and lower than the norm in the period without COVID-19, respectively. 2) Most correlations between the 9 variables from coping style, self-acceptance, and resilience were significant. 3) In the path of self-acceptance predicting positive coping, the Bootstrap 95% confidence interval of direct effect of self-acceptance was [-0.192, 0.048], and the path coefficient was not significant; the Bootstrap 95% confidence interval of mediating effect of resilience between the two was [0.049, 0.323], and the path coefficient were 0.89 and 0.75, that appeared to be significant. 4) In the path of self-acceptance predicting negative coping, the Bootstrap 95% confidence interval of direct effect of self-acceptance was [-0.789, -0.077], and the path coefficient was -0.92, which was significant; the Bootstrap 95% confidence interval of mediating effect of resilience between the two was [0.034, 0.727], and the path coefficients were 0.89 and -0.72, which both were significant.
Conclusions:Under the stress of COVID-19, college students’ coping style is characterized as being more positive; self-acceptance indirectly affects positive coping through the full mediation of resilience; however, self-acceptance can both directly and indirectly affect negative coping through partial mediation of resilience.
