随着COVID-19全球健康灾难继续在世界各地展开，已呼吁解决相关的精神疾病公共危机。本文试图通过考虑积极心理学因素在缓冲心理疾病、在COVID-19期间促进心理健康以及建立可能有助于加强未来心理健康的积极过程和能力方面所发挥的作用，来扩大这些呼吁。本文探讨了积极心理学中支持人们度过大流行病的九个主题的证据和应用：意义，应对，自我同情，勇气，感恩，性格优势，积极情绪，积极的人际关系过程和高质量的联系。在严重的危机时期，如COVID-19，可以理解的是，研究主要针对解决人们受伤和虚弱的方式。然而，这并不需要以调查维持和加强人民的方式为代价。
As the COVID-19 global health disaster continues to unfold across the world, calls have been made to address the associated mental illness public crisis. The current paper seeks to broaden these calls by considering the role that positive psychology factors can play in buffering against mental illness, bolstering mental health during COVID-19 and building positive processes and capacities that may help to strengthen future mental health. The paper explores evidence and applications from nine topics in positive psychology that support people through a pandemic: meaning, coping, self-compassion, courage, gratitude, character strengths, positive emotions, positive interpersonal processes and high-quality connections. In times of intense crisis, such as COVID-19, it is understandable that research is heavily directed towards addressing the ways in which people are wounded and weakened. However, this need not come at the expense of also investigating the ways in which people are sustained and strengthened.
