COVID-19大流行的早期阶段和相关的居家令导致儿童和青少年的日常社交活动大幅减少。鉴于同伴关系在这一发育阶段尤为重要，了解COVID-19大流行对儿童和青少年社会行为和精神病理风险的影响至关重要。在纵向样本（N=224）中，儿童（7-10岁）和青少年（13-15岁）在三个战略时间点（大流行之前，在最初的居家令期间，以及在最初的居家令解除后六个月）进行评估，我们检查了某些社会因素是否可以防止大流行期间压力相关精神病理学的增加，控制了大流行前的症状。在大流行期间，报告面对面和数字社交较少、社会孤立程度较高、社会支持较少的青年的精神病理恶化。在大流行期间，更大的社会隔离和更少的数字社交与经历与大流行相关的压力源后更大的精神病理风险相关。此外，在接触与大流行有关的压力源后，保持一些面对面社交的儿童（而不是青少年）不太可能出现内化症状。我们确定了在这一社会事件中促进青年福祉和恢复力的社会因素。
The early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated stay-at-home orders resulted in a stark reduction in daily social interactions for children and adolescents. Given that peer relationships are especially important during this developmental stage, it is crucial to understand the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on social behavior and risk for psychopathology in children and adolescents. In a longitudinal sample (N=224) of children (7-10y) and adolescents (13-15y) assessed at three strategic time points (before the pandemic, during the initial stay-at-home order period, and six months later after the initial stay-at-home order period was lifted), we examine whether certain social factors protect against increases in stress-related psychopathology during the pandemic, controlling for pre-pandemic symptoms. Youth who reported less in-person and digital socialization, greater social isolation, and less social support had worsened psychopathology during the pandemic. Greater social isolation and decreased digital socialization during the pandemic were associated with greater risk for psychopathology after experiencing pandemic-related stressors. In addition, children, but not adolescents, who maintained some in-person socialization were less likely to develop internalizing symptoms following exposure to pandemic-related stressors. We identify social factors that promote well-being and resilience in youth during this societal event.
