ABSTRACT

To identify potential protective mechanisms that might buffer the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on well-being, the current set of studies (N_{Study 1} = 1172, N_{Study 2} = 451) examined the roles of hope and religious coping (positive and negative) in promoting well-being during periods when stringent stay-at-home orders were implemented in Colombia and South Africa to control the spread of SARS-CoV-2. After controlling for relevant sociodemographic characteristics (Studies 1 and 2), subjective health complaints, and sleep quality (Study 2), hope was positively associated with well-being and the relation between hope and well-being was moderated by religious coping. Whilst well-being was highest when levels of hope were high (irrespective of positive or negative religious coping levels), when reported hope was low, well-being tended to be higher when positive religious coping was high (Study 1) and negative religious coping was low (Study 2). Implications of the findings for maintaining well-being during a public health crisis are discussed.

摘要

为了确定可能缓冲 COVID-19 大流行对幸福感影响的潜在保护机制，当前的一组研究（N_{研究 1}  = 1172，N_{研究 2} = 451) 研究了在哥伦比亚和南非实施严格的居家令以控制 SARS-CoV-2 传播期间，希望和宗教应对（正面和负面）在促进福祉方面的作用。在控制了相关的社会人口学特征（研究 1 和 2）、主观健康抱怨和睡眠质量（研究 2）后，希望与幸福感呈正相关，希望与幸福感之间的关系通过宗教应对来调节。当希望水平高时幸福感最高（无论积极或消极的宗教应对水平），当报告的希望低时，当积极的宗教应对高（研究 1）和消极的宗教应对时幸福感往往更高低（研究 2）。
