Using latent profile analysis, we derived psychological profiles of undergraduates during the pandemic and investigated profiles’ differential associations with COVID-19 impact and social adjustment. Participants (N = 517) completed measures of depression, loneliness, and anxiety, and two indices of social adjustment: friendship support and social connectedness. We identified Severe, Moderate, and Mild symptom profiles. Higher COVID-19 impact was associated with increased odds of belonging to the Severe versus Moderate and Mild profiles, and the Moderate versus Mild profile. On social adjustment, the Mild profile outscored the Moderate profile, which outscored the Severe profile. Overall, findings imply that individuals who perceive high levels of COVID-19 impact are especially likely to belong to a profile characterized by severe psychological symptoms and that membership in this profile is associated with social maladjustment.

根据经验得出的大学生心理概况:与 COVID-19 影响和社会适应的差异关联
通过潜在概况分析,我们得出了大流行期间本科生的心理概况,并调查了这些概况与 COVID-19 影响和社会适应的差异关联。参与者( N = 517)完成了抑郁、孤独和焦虑的测量,以及两个社会适应指标:友谊支持和社会联系。我们确定了严重、中度和轻度症状。 COVID-19 影响越大,属于重度与中度和轻度、中度与轻度的可能性越大。在社会适应方面,轻度特征的得分超过了中度特征,而中度特征的得分又超过了重度特征。总体而言,研究结果表明,感知到 COVID-19 影响程度较高的个人尤其可能属于以严重心理症状为特征的人群,并且该人群的成员资格与社会适应不良有关。
