“…Consistent with the present results, research further demonstrates that belongingness is an essential protective factor for psychological well-being and adjustment in the context of adversities (Backhaus et al, 2019;Civitci, 2015;Eisenberg et al, 2007;Nuttman-Shwartz, 2019;Zhang et al, 2020). For example, school belongingness was found as a protective factor in the relationship between loneliness and depressive symptoms (Baskin et al, 2010) and moderated the negative impacts of adverse experiences on psychological adjustment (Sargent et al, 2002;Torgerson et al, 2018;Zhang et al, 2020). In Tanhan's (2020) study, the college students also reported home "confinement and feeling stuck in their cities" (19%) and "living in tower blocks" (10%) that caused them to be and feel isolated from other people as some of the most important barriers during the COVID-19 pandemic.…”

Loneliness is a serious risk factor for healthy development and flourishing. Although loneliness has been revealed to play an important role in psychological health and well-being, little is known about moderating and mitigating mechanisms underlying this association, especially during adverse experiences (e.g., COVID-19 pandemic). The current study purposed to explore whether subjective vitality mediated the association of loneliness with psychological adjustment and whether college belongingness moderated the mediating effect of subjective vitality on students’ adjustment in the context of loneliness. The study sample comprised 333 undergraduate students (69% female) from a public university in Turkey. They ranged in age between 19 and 41 years (M= 21.94, SD= 4.15). Findings from mediation analysis revealed that loneliness had a significant predictive effect on subjective vitality and psychological adjustment challenges. Subjective vitality also mediated the effect of loneliness on the psychological adjustment of college students. Further, college belongingness moderated the mediating effect of subjective vitality on adjustment and had a protective effect on the association between loneliness and subjective vitality in college students. These results indicate that subjective vitality and college belongingness are important mechanisms that may help develop prevention and intervention strategies to foster students’ psychological health and well-being in university settings.

Loneliness is a serious risk factor for healthy development and flourishing. Although loneliness has been revealed to play an important role in psychological health and well-being, little is known about moderating and mitigating mechanisms underlying this association, especially, during adverse experiences (e.g., coronavirus pandemic). The current study purposed to explore whether subjective vitality mediated the association of loneliness with psychological well-being (i.e., psychological adjustment), and whether college belongingness moderated the mediating effect of subjective vitality on students’ well-being in the context of loneliness. The sample of this study comprised of 333 undergraduate students (69% female) from a state university in Turkey. They ranged in age between 19 and 45 years (M= 22.13, SD= 4.55). Findings from mediation analysis revealed that loneliness had a significant predictive effect on subjective vitality and psychological adjustment challenges. Subjective vitality also mediated the effect of loneliness on psychological adjustment of college students. Further, college belongingness moderated the mediating effect of subjective vitality on adjustment and had a protective effect on the association between loneliness and subjective vitality in college students. These results provide evidence suggesting that college belongingness and subjective vitality are important mechanisms that may help to develop prevention and intervention strategies to foster psychological health and well-being of students at university settings

“…The important thing is to help them get through this process as healthy individuals. It is underlined that the fact that children continue this process in a healthy way depends on variables such as being securely attached to their parents, having parents with democratic parental attitude, being encouraged to behave independently, and family members being together (Buchanan, 2014;Torgerson, Love, & Vennum, 2018). Not all parent-child relationships will be equally affected by the social disruptions in the COVID-19 crisis; there will be individual differences in how far continued social changes will strain parents' well-being and adaptive parenting behaviors.…”
