Background: This study investigated the effects of stress events (reduced income, change of jobs, family conflicts, and conflicts with acquaintances) experienced in the prolonged COVID-19 situation on psychological distress (peritraumatic distress, depression, and loneliness). It also tested the moderating effects of social support between them according to the stress-buffering model. Methods: Data was collected from 800 adult men and women, including early adulthood (ages 19∼30), early middle-aged adulthood (ages 31∼45), late middle-aged adulthood (ages 46∼64), and late adulthood (ages 65 and older), via an online survey covering peritraumatic distress, loneliness, depression, and social support. Hierarchical regression analysis was conducted to test the moderating effects of social support. Results: First, reduced income, change of jobs, and interpersonal conflicts experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic were positively associated with peritraumatic distress, depression, and loneliness. However, social support was negatively associated with them. Second, social support had no moderating effects on the impacts of change of jobs and reduced income on peritraumatic distress, depression, and loneliness. It had moderating effects only on the influences of interpersonal conflicts. Finally, the study examined the moderating effects of social support by the age group and found that it mitigated the impacts of interpersonal conflicts in all of the age groups except for the early middle-aged group. Conclusions: These findings demonstrate that social support can mitigate psychological distress due to interpersonal stress in a pandemic situation and imply a need for differentiated intervention according to the different stress-buffering effects of social support according to age groups.

In this study, we investigated how effectively a Draw-a-Story drawing test can predict the perceived stress, military life adjustment, and resilience of soldiers. A total of 276 conscripted male soldiers participated in the study. The research tools included the Perceived Stress Scale, the Military Life Adjustment Scale, the Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale (Korean version), and the Draw-a-Story drawing test. The results of the correlation and regression analyses were as follows. First, perceived stress, military life adjustment, resilience, and DAS emotional content were all mutually correlated. The DAS self-image was positively correlated only with resilience. Second, emotional content predicted soldiers’ perceived stress, military life adjustment, and resilience at significant levels. Meanwhile, our regression analysis showed that self-image did not have significant predictive power. In this paper, we discuss the implications for predictive power of our findings regarding the two measures of DAS; we also propose that DAS could serve as a tool to predict the mental states of soldiers.

This quantitative study investigated the applicability of the Person-in-the-Rain drawing test (PITR) as a psychological evaluation tool to assess individuals' psychological capacity to deal with stress. The subjects of the study were 300 soldiers from three army units. The study's research tools included the PITR, the Army Life Adjustment Scale, and the Resilience Scale. The study's findings are as follows. First, there was a significant difference in both the Resource subtotal and the Coping capacity score when comparing upper and lower groups in terms of army life adjustment. Second, the higher resilience group showed higher scores in the PITR Resource subtotal than the lower resilience group, although no significant difference was found in the PITR Stress score. Third, when comparing the upper and lower groups based on the PITR Coping capacity score, there were significant differences in both army life adjustment and resilience. Based on these results, the PITR can be considered as a useful tool to evaluate soldiers' army life adjustment and resilience. This study contributes significantly to this area of research by exploring the applicability of the PITR through a two-way examination. The study also suggests relevant implications and potential directions for future research.
