ABSTRACT

Background

Polyregulation—the concurrent or sequential use of multiple strategies to regulate affect or cope with stressors—is a frequent but understudied phenomenon.

Objectives

We aimed to identify patterns of daily coping and individuals’ coping repertoires (i.e., range of coping patterns employed across situations) during a COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. We investigated day-level covariates (appraisals, worrying, mood) of daily coping patterns and person-level covariates (psychopathology, average mood) of coping repertoires. Design: A non-representative community sample (n = 322, 15–82 years old) participated in a 21-day ambulatory assessment study.

Methods

We applied multilevel latent class analysis..

Results

We identified seven daily coping patterns and ten classes of individuals differing in the size of their coping repertoire and their propensity for polyregulation. Daily coping patterns differed in daily perceived controllability and mood (but not in daily worrying or stress). At the person level, individuals with a higher level of average coronavirus-related worrying more frequently engaged in a high degree of polyregulation. The size of individuals’ coping repertoire was unrelated to psychopathology and average mood.

Conclusion

The findings provide insights into the composition of daily coping patterns and individuals’ coping repertoires during crisis periods and contribute to a new polyregulation perspective on coping.

在 COVID-19 锁定下应对：日常应对模式和应对方式的个体差异

摘要

背景

多重调节——同时或顺序使用多种策略来调节情绪或应对压力源——是一种常见但未被充分研究的现象。

目标

我们旨在确定 COVID-19 大流行锁定期间的日常应对模式和个人应对方式（即跨情况采用的应对模式范围）。我们调查了日常应对模式的日级协变量（评估、担忧、情绪）和应对曲目的个人级协变量（精神病理学、平均情绪）。设计：一个非代表性社区样本（n  = 322，15-82 岁）参加了一项为期 21 天的门诊评估研究。

方法

我们应用了多级潜在类分析。

结果

我们确定了 7 种日常应对模式和 10 类个体，这些个体的应对能力和多重调节倾向各不相同。日常应对模式在日常感知可控性和情绪方面有所不同（但在日常担忧或压力方面没有）。在个人层面，与冠状病毒相关的平均担忧程度较高的人更频繁地参与高度的多规化。个人应对能力的大小与精神病理学和平均情绪无关。

结论

研究结果提供了对危机期间日常应对模式的构成和个人应对能力的见解，并有助于对应对的新的多监管视角。
