This study examined the association between contact with COVID-19 and internalizing symptoms in Spanish adolescents, and the moderation and mediation roles of dispositional mindfulness. Adolescents (N = 383; 58% female; Mage = 15.62, SD = 1.32) completed measures of dispositional mindfulness (MAAS-A) and internalizing symptoms (DASS-21), other stressors different from COVID-19, and contact with COVID-19 twice, in October 2019 and 2020. Three profiles emerged according to their contact with COVID-19: (1) little/no contact, (2) knowing someone close (outside home) who was infected, hospitalized, or died, and (3) being or someone at home being infected and/or hospitalized. Compared to little/no contact, both contact profiles predicted dispositional mindfulness and anxiety; and profile 2 predicted stress. Dispositional mindfulness mediated the association between both contact profiles and depression and stress. This study suggests that contact with COVID-19 predicts increased internalizing symptoms in adolescents, which could be partially explained by the decrease in mindfulness levels.

本研究检查了西班牙青少年接触 COVID-19 与内化症状之间的关联，以及性格正念的调节和中介作用。青少年（N  = 383；58% 女性；M年龄 = 15.62，SD = 1.32) 完成了对性格正念 (MAAS-A) 和内化症状 (DASS-21)、与 COVID-19 不同的其他压力源以及在 2019 年 10 月和 2020 年两次接触 COVID-19 的测量。根据他们的情况出现了三个概况与 COVID-19 接触：(1) 很少/没有接触，(2) 认识附近（在家外）感染、住院或死亡的人，以及 (3) 正在或家里有人被感染和/或住院。与很少/没有联系相比，两种联系方式都预测了性格正念和焦虑；和剖面 2 预测的应力。性格正念调节了接触档案与抑郁和压力之间的关联。这项研究表明，与 COVID-19 的接触预示着青少年的内化症状会增加，
