The COVID-19 pandemic continues to pose an unprecedented challenge for the world as people strive to cope with this significant threat to their well-being. This intensive longitudinal study of the first 94 days of the COVID-19 outbreak in South Korea (Phase 1: initial outbreak, Phase 2: intense social distancing) examined individuals’ changes in well-being, in relation to their use of coping strategies and fear of infection. A sample of 10,464 South Koreans participated in surveys during Phase 1 and Phase 2, resulting in 35,846 observations. Multilevel growth models revealed a decrease in well-being while different coping strategies moderated the individual rate of change in well-being. Although preventive measures were associated with a greater decrease in well-being, cognitive appraisal and behavioral strategies predicted stable well-being during the pandemic. Coping strategies further mediated the association between fear of infection and deterioration of well-being.

随着人们努力应对对自身福祉的重大威胁，COVID-19大流行继续对世界构成前所未有的挑战。这项对韩国COVID-19暴发的前94天（阶段1：初期暴发，阶段2：强烈的社会疏远）的深入纵向研究研究了个体在应对策略和使用方式上的幸福感变化。害怕感染。在第1阶段和第2阶段中，有10,464名韩国人参加了调查，结果获得了35,846项观察结果。多级增长模型显示幸福感下降，而不同的应对策略缓解了个人的幸福感变化率。尽管预防措施与幸福感的大幅下降有关，认知评估和行为策略预测大流行期间的稳定状态。应对策略进一步介导了对感染的恐惧与幸福感之间的联系。
