Hope is a cognitive trait that predicts both resilience to and recovery from anxiety and stress-related disorders. The present study examines the prospective associations of hope with subsequent anxiety, stress, and well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic. Perceived emotional control, a transdiagnostic vulnerability factor, was also examined as a potential mediator of these relationships. American adults (N = 822) were recruited during the COVID-19 pandemic using Amazon mTURK and structural equation modeling was used to examine how trait hope predicted outcomes approximately one month later. Higher hope was associated with greater well-being and perceived emotional control, as well as lower levels of anxiety and COVID-19 perceived stress. Results also indicated an indirect effect of hope with all outcomes via perceived emotional control. These findings suggest that hope may associated with resilience to the chronic stressors associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

希望是一种认知特征，可预测其对焦虑和压力相关疾病的适应能力以及从中恢复的能力。本研究探讨了在COVID-19大流行期间希望与未来的焦虑，压力和福祉的前瞻性关联。感知的情绪控制（一种可诊断的易感性因素）也被检查为这些关系的潜在中介者。美国成年人（ñ（= 822）是在COVID-19大流行期间使用Amazon mTURK募集的，结构方程模型用于检查特质希望如何预测一个月后的结果。更高的希望与更好的幸福感和感知的情绪控制以及较低的焦虑和COVID-19感知压力相关。结果还表明，通过感知的情绪控制，希望对所有结果都有间接影响。这些发现表明，希望可能与抵御与COVID-19大流行相关的慢性应激源有关。
