“…In line with previous studies, 21,30,31,40,41 perceived social support was negatively associated with psychological distress and predicted an incrementally significant variance, even when subjective severity and different types of rumination were jointly considered. This finding suggests that perceived social support could mitigate the negative consequences of psychological distress during the COVID-19 crisis.…”

Objective Research on psychological distress from the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) crisis has increased significantly, but the factors that can exacerbate or mitigate such distress have remained underexplored. To address the research gap, this study examined whether two types of rumination and perceived social support predict psychological distress during the pandemic.Methods Participants were recruited from communities of the greater Daegu area (n=316) where the first massive outbreak in South Korea occurred and most residents underwent substantial disruption of daily life. They completed self-report questionnaires that included measures of psychological distress, event-related rumination, and social support.Results The hierarchical regression analysis showed that maladaptive intrusive rumination and perceived social support predicted increases and decreases in psychological distress, respectively, even when subjective severity of COVID-19-related experiences was controlled. Putatively adaptive type of rumination (i.e., deliberate rumination) was not a significant predictor concurrently.Conclusion This is among the early endeavors to comprehensively understand risk and protective factors associated with an effective coping strategy against the COVID-19 crisis. Our results indicate that intrusive rumination aggravates but social support mitigates psychological distress during the pandemic, indicating that we can better adapt by differently attending to recent experiences and maintaining perceived social support.

“…As rumination hinders adaptive problem-solving (21) and induces greater hopelessness (20), individuals may further lose the motivation to tackle the source of the issue, resulting in prolonged depressive symptoms (22). Early evidence of the role of rumination on stress consequences amid the COVID-19 pandemic has generally supported prior findings [e.g., (3,23)]. However, these studies have measured general ruminative tendencies within the individual.…”

“…Such public health measures have led to a downstream torrent of negative mental health outcomes. Indeed, several studies have found that COVID-19 related stressors accrued a myriad of negative effects on mental health, such as inducing symptoms of both anxiety and depression [e.g., ( 1 – 3 )].…”

The restriction of numerous sectors of society and the uncertainty surrounding the development of the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in adverse psychological states to college students isolated at home. In this study, we explored the mediating role of fatigue in the effects of epidemic rumination and resilience on depressive symptoms as well as how epidemic rumination and resilience may interact with one another. A large sample of Chinese college students (N = 1,293) completed measures on epidemic rumination, resilience, fatigue, and depressive symptoms. Results indicated depressive symptomology was positively predicted by epidemic rumination while negatively predicted by resilience. In both cases, fatigue partially mediated these effects and positively predicted depressive symptoms. Unexpectedly, epidemic rumination and resilience interacted in a manner where the effect of rumination on fatigue became stronger as resiliency increased. Theoretical and practical implications are provided to further interpret the results.

“…Furthermore, stressors associated with COVID-19 activated individuals' rumination mechanisms, which may have an impact on individual creativity. It has been shown that a higher frequency of rumination during the pandemic resulted in more negative emotions and decreased cognitive function (Newman et al, 2018;Ye et al, 2020), which is detrimental to the development of creative thinking. However, individuals can also increase their self-confidence by recalling positive examples through rumination (Bandura, 1997).…”

Purpose: This study used a moderated mediation model to test the mediating effect of general self-efficacy on the relationship between post-traumatic growth (PTG) and creativity and the moderating effect of deliberate rumination in the second path of the indirect mediation path during the COVID-19 pandemic.Methods: A sample of 881 university students from Guangdong Province, China, was surveyed with the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory, the Runco Ideational Behavior Scale, the General Self-Efficacy Scale, and the Deliberate Rumination Inventory. SPSS (23 version) and PROCESS (3.3 version) were used for correlation analyses, mediation analysis, and moderated mediation analysis.Results: (1) PTG was positively correlated with creativity, self-efficacy, and deliberate rumination. Creativity was positively correlated with self-efficacy and deliberate rumination. Deliberate rumination was positively correlated with self-efficacy. (2) Self-efficacy mediated the relationship between PTG and creativity. (3) Deliberate rumination moderated the second half of the path of “PTG → self-efficacy → creativity.”Conclusions: PTG affected creativity directly and also indirectly through self-efficacy. In particular, deliberate rumination moderated the relationship between self-efficacy and creativity, such that the association was stronger when the incidence of deliberate rumination was low. These results provide a more comprehensive understanding of the positive link between PTG and creativity.
