Collective traumas have a notable impact on adolescent well-being. While some youth face increased risk for mental health problems (e.g., those with maltreatment histories), many demonstrate resilience following traumatic events. One contributing factor to well-being following trauma is the degree to which one isolates from others. Accordingly, we examined the association between maltreatment and internalizing problems during the COVID-19 pandemic as moderated by social isolation. Among adolescents reporting pre-pandemic emotional abuse, those experiencing less isolation reported the lowest levels of anxiety symptoms. Among adolescents reporting pre-pandemic physical abuse, those experiencing less isolation reported the greatest levels of anxiety and depressive symptoms. The findings highlight a public health-oriented approach to youth well-being during collective trauma that extends beyond mitigating disease transmission.

集体创伤对青少年的幸福感有显着影响。虽然一些年轻人面临更高的心理健康问题风险（例如，那些有虐待史的人），但许多人在创伤事件后表现出恢复能力。影响创伤后幸福感的一个因素是一个人与他人的隔离程度。因此，我们研究了 COVID-19 大流行期间受社会隔离影响的虐待与内化问题之间的关联。在报告大流行前情绪虐待的青少年中，那些经历较少孤立的人报告的焦虑症状水平最低。在报告大流行前身体虐待的青少年中，那些经历较少孤立的人报告了最大程度的焦虑和抑郁症状。
