冠状病毒（COVID-19）大流行目前是全球健康威胁，对全球人民的心理健康和福祉造成负面影响。本研究的目的是研究乐观-悲观和心理承受能力在土耳其成年人冠状病毒压力与心理问题关系中的中介作用。研究样本包括451名成年人（55%为女性）。参与者主要由平均年龄为23.30岁的年轻人组成，范围从18岁到65岁（SD = 6.97）。一个中介模型表明，冠状病毒压力对乐观-悲观、心理承受力和心理问题具有显著的预测作用。此外，乐观-悲观和心理承受力介导了冠状病毒压力对成年人心理问题的影响。最后，乐观-悲观通过心理承受力预测成年人的心理问题。这些结果阐明了我们对介质在冠状病毒应激和心理健康问题中的作用的理解。这些发现有助于为定制干预措施和实施预防性方法提供证据，以减轻COVID-19的精神病理学后果。基于目前的研究结果，在COVID-19的背景下讨论了接受和承诺疗法的潜在效用。
The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is currently a global health threat attributed to negatively affecting the mental health and well-being of people globally. The purpose of the present study is to examine the mediating role of optimism-pessimism and psychological inflexibility in the relationship of coronavirus stress with psychological problems among Turkish adults. The sample of the study included 451 adults (55% women). Participants mainly consisted of young adults with a mean age of 23.30 years, ranging from 18 to 65 years (SD = 6.97). A mediation model indicated that coronavirus stress had a significant predictive effect on optimism-pessimism, psychological inflexibility, and psychological problems. Further, optimism-pessimism and psychological inflexibility mediated the effect of coronavirus stress on psychological problems in adults. Lastly, optimism-pessimism predicted the psychological problems of adults through psychological inflexibility. These results elucidate our understanding of the role of mediators in coronavirus stress and psychological health problems. The findings are useful in terms of providing evidence for tailoring interventions and implementing preventative approaches to mitigate the psychopathological consequences of COVID-19. Based on the present findings, the potential utility of acceptance and commitment therapy is discussed within the context of COVID-19.
