“…Therefore, the future design of mental health interventions should consider targeting people who experienced more SLEs related to social unrest and COVID-19. Results of this study about the relationship between rumination and general mental health are consistent with previous ndings [34,35]. While past research suggested that general mental health can be explained by rumination [36], the current research put forward rumination as a prominent predictor of life satisfaction.…”

Purpose Understanding the impact of co-occurring population- and individual-level stressful events on mental well-being should inform future intervention design. This study examined the association of two population-level stressful events (social unrest and COVID-19) and personal stressors with life satisfaction in Hong Kong.Methods This study analyzed data on life satisfaction, experience of stressful life events (SLEs), rumination, and resilience, from two representative population telephone surveys conducted in 2018 (n = 1,514) and 2020 (n = 1,258). The association between life satisfaction and personal SLEs was further compared between the two samples using moderation analysis. Using data from the 2020 survey, the effect of different types of SLEs, rumination, and resilience on life satisfaction was investigated using hierarchical regression analysis.Results The study achieved a response rate of 56.2% and 68.9% for surveys 2018 and 2020, respectively. Life satisfaction of the population decreased significantly in 2020, accompanied by an overall increase in SLEs. Moderation analysis revealed that the relationship between personal SLEs and life satisfaction was significantly greater in 2018 than in 2020. Hierarchical regression analysis showed that an increase in all kinds of SLEs and higher levels of rumination were significantly associated with lower life satisfaction in 2020.Conclusion The significant reduction in life satisfaction reported in this study suggests that measures to support the mental health of populations that have experienced multiple simultaneous, large-scale stressors would be crucial. During distinctive phases as such, rumination may be a potential target for improving overall mental health.

“…Hartog ( 2017 ) also showed that people’s psychological pressure is caused by the uncertainty of information, and he also pointed out that complex information tasks and information disorganization are easy for users to generate information anxiety and psychological stress. However, chronic perceived stress is a significant factor in the decline in life satisfaction (Burger & Samuel, 2017 ; Zheng et al, 2019 ). Kiesswetter et al ( 2020 ) found that the higher an individual’s perceived stress, the lower his life satisfaction.…”

“…A negative relationship has been found between self-control and internalizing problems ( Nie et al, 2014 ), particularly with depression ( Jun and Choi, 2013 ) and anxiety ( Sánchez-Aguilar et al, 2019 ). The possible mediating role of self-control between perceived stress and life satisfaction has also been considered ( Zheng et al, 2019 ). It has also been proposed that self-control is important in relation to externalizing problems ( Franken et al, 2015 ; Wills et al, 2016 ).…”

Locus of Control, Self-Control, and Gender as Predictors of Internalizing and Externalizing Problems in Children and Adolescents in Northern Chile

Background: Both the control that people attribute to themselves over a situation (locus of control) and the control they attribute to themselves (self-control) have been proposed as aspects that can have an effect on internalizing problems in young people. There is little evidence of this relationship in the infantile-juvenile population in Latin America. Objective: To establish whether there is a significant predictive relationship of locus of control and self-control over internalizing and externalizing problems in the infantilejuvenile population, both at a general level and dimension-specific. These include depression, anxiety, social anxiety, somatic complaints, and post-traumatic stress. Methods: A cross-sectional-correlational study was carried out to establish if there was a possible predictive relationship in 3,664 schoolchildren of both primary (4th-6th grade) and secondary (7th-12th grade) in northern Chile, using the short version of the Nowicki-Strickland scale to measure locus of control, the Tangney scale to measure self-control, and the Child and Adolescent Evaluation System (SENA) to measure the dimensions of internalized problems. Hypotheses: (1) Greater self-control is associated with lower levels of internalizing and externalizing problems. (2) Higher external locus of control is associated with higher levels of internalizing and externalizing problems. (3) Self-control, locus of control, and gender can together significantly predict each of the internalizing and externalizing problems. Results: Evidence is found to support the first two hypotheses fully and partially support the third, since gender did not function as a predictor in all models. Conclusion: The results confirm previous international research in that both locus of control and self-control appear to have a significant influence on internalizing and externalizing problems. Implications for mental health promotion in this population are discussed.
