“…Similarly, this study found that the six-factor model fitted the data better than did the five-factor model for both the CSS-36 and the CSS-18. These findings resonate with the stress and coping model (42,43). In particular, the COVID-19 pandemic is a stressor that may affect people's reactions and behavior in various ways (9,30).…”

IntroductionThe COVID Stress Scales (CSS) assess six domains of COVID-19-related stress, including (a) COVID danger, (b) COVID socioeconomic consequences, (c) COVID xenophobia, (d) COVID contamination, (e) COVID traumatic stress symptoms, and (f) COVID compulsive checking. Although the CSS have been validated in various cultural contexts, their psychometric properties in Hong Kong have not been examined. This study endeavors to validate the traditional Chinese version of the 36-item CSS (CSS-36) and the 18-item CSS (CSS-18) in Hong Kong.MethodParticipants were 521 Hong Kong undergraduate students (61% female) aged from 18 to 26 years (M = 20.65, SD = 1.56). An online questionnaire was used for data collection.ResultsThe results of confirmatory factor analyses supported a six-factor structure for both the CSS-36 and the CSS-18. Multiple-group confirmatory factor analyses established the gender invariance of the six-factor model for both the CSS-36 and the CSS-18. The CSS-36 and the CSS-18 exhibited good internal consistency reliability and concurrent validity with fear of COVID-19 and negative emotional states.DiscussionThe findings offer evidence for the psychometric properties of the traditional Chinese version of the CSS-36 and the CSS-18 in the Hong Kong context.

“…Hence, the prediction and finding that AIM high school profiles would relate to IMW over a two-decade period is of importance inasmuch as early development of AIM has significant outcomes for the individuals’ work lives as they advance in adulthood and their careers. The contexts of high school, and work in adulthood, provide appropriate settings for development of intrinsic motivation with similarities in the motivational contexts for school and workWang, et al, (2022) stated that school and organizational settings are similar in behavioral expectations, task nature, and predicted outcomes. As intrinsic motivation is applicable to children and adults, AIM provides a foundation for intrinsic motivation in work.…”

Academic intrinsic motivation (AIM), the enjoyment of school learning in which pleasure is inherent in the activity itself, provided the theoretical foundation for this research. A person-centered approach using latent profile analysis (LPA) was applied to the AIM subject areas of English, math, history, science, and for school in general at ages 16 and 17 years measured with the Children's Academic Intrinsic Motivation Inventory–High School. The students (N = 112) were participants of the Fullerton Longitudinal Study (blinded for review). Three distinct AIM profiles emerged labeled strong, moderate, and weak. Specific predictions were advanced pertaining to a differential relation of AIM profiles to an array of theoretically relevant distal outcomes assessed over two decades later (age 38 years, N = 107). These included educational attainment, curiosity, intrinsic motivation for work (IMW), and aspects of the motivation to lead. Predictions were supported in that results revealed significant, conceptually meaningful temporal connections between the profiles and outcomes across the 22-year interval. Students in the strong, in contrast to weak AIM profile, consistently and significantly had, at 38 years, more advanced levels of educational attainment, greater curiosity, stronger IMW, and greater enjoyment of leadership. Students in the moderate AIM profile placed ordinally between those in the other two profiles with respect to outcomes. Covariates of sex and IQ were controlled. The findings furnish evidence for predictive and construct validity of high school AIM profiles. Implications are advanced.

The present study examines the mediating role of emotion-focused and problem-focused coping between stress and psychological well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic. The sample comprised 501 (312 women and 184 men aged between 18 and 42) Indians who experienced the first-ever continued lockdown in India during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results of this study confirmed the presence of perceived stress due to the lockdown and pandemic among participants. Furthermore, perceived stress, coping including emotion-focused and problem-focused, and psychological well-being were found to be interrelated. The serial mediation analysis revealed that participants dealt with stress by choosing emotion-focused coping first as an immediate resort. After a reappraisal of stress-inducing situations, they used problem-focused coping, and this sequence of constant coping mechanisms helped maintain their psychological well-being. The findings of this study can be applied to develop strategies for people’s mental health by public health organizations and health professionals.
