“…Previous research has shown that risk perception was negatively associated with sense of mastery (Nordgren et al, 2007 ; Ruthig et al, 2007 ; Huang et al, 2023 ). When individuals perceive risks and threats in the environment, especially those beyond their control, it may lead to a decrease in their sense of mastery (Huang et al, 2023 ). The findings from the current study further support the important role of hope and sense of mastery in determining career adaptability among Chinese college students.…”

The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has not only caused widespread economic recession but also had a serious negative impact on the employment of college students. However, little is known about the relationship and mechanisms between the risk perception of COVID-19 and career adaptability. This study aimed to examine whether the risk perception of COVID-19 is associated with career adaptability directly and indirectly through hope and a sense of mastery in college students. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 594 Chinese college students aged 16 to 25, who completed assessments on risk perception of COVID-19, career adaptability, hope, and sense of mastery. The results showed that susceptibility was negatively associated with career confidence, control, and curiosity; moreover, susceptibility indirectly affected career adaptability (including concern, confidence, control, and curiosity) through the sense of mastery; uncontrollable indirectly affected career concern through hope; and uncontrollable indirectly affected career adaptability (including concern, confidence, control, and curiosity) through hope and the sense of mastery. The findings emphasize the role of hope and a sense of mastery in the career adaptability of college students and reveal the necessity of improving hope and a sense of mastery to promote college students' career development. “Implications and limitations are discussed”.

“…Peluso and Pichierri investigated the influence of socio-demographics on individuals' sense of control and the ability to avoid the uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 crisis [20]. Huang et al examined the impact of COVID-19 risk perception on the sense of control, testing the hypotheses that this effect would be mediated by anxiety about death and moderated by Confucian coping [21].…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has not only caused significant economic, social, and cultural impacts, but it has also significantly influenced the public’s sense of psychological health and safety. Therefore, this study aimed to explain the theoretical logic of risk perception and the sense of public health safety. A conceptual framework of risk perception consisting of four dimensions—emotional perception, information perception, trust perception, and efficacy perception—was constructed. Additionally, the impact of risk perception on the sense of public health safety was empirically explored. By conducting an analysis of a survey of 292 residents in China, we found that risk perception had different impacts on residents’ sense of public health safety. Emotional perception and information perception had significantly negative effects on the sense of public health safety, while the effects of trust perception and efficacy perception were significantly positive. Notably, emotional perception played a partial mediating role in the impact of information perception, trust perception, and efficacy perception on sense of public health safety, respectively. The findings of this study showed that emotional perception is a critical mechanism for improving residents’ sense of public health safety. Some certain guidance measures are provided to reduce public anxiety and fear during pandemics.
