2022年9月21日，社會工作系高樹玲博士為通訊作者🪘，社會學系2021級碩士生姚曉瑜和徐鑫寒分別為第一、第二作者，在SSCI期刊《JOURNAL OF AFFECTIVE DISORDERS》上在線發表最新研究成果“Associations between psychological inflexibility and mental health problems during the COVID-19 pandemic: A three-level meta-analytic review(新冠疫情期間心理僵化與精神健康問題的關系：一項三水平元分析研究)”🤵🏻🖐🏿，文章將於2023年1月1日在該期刊第320卷正式出版。
摘要🦸🏻♂️：
文章指出，心理僵化是指個體心理和行為不能靈活地適應變化的情境🧖，對生活事件反應刻板，缺乏適應的靈活性。在新冠肺炎疫情期間，大量研究發現心理僵化（psychological inflexibility）是精神健康問題（即抑郁🚆、焦慮和壓力症狀）的相關因素🔨。然而🏄🏿，現有研究報告的心理僵化與精神健康之間的關系存在較大差異。因此，本文采用三水平元分析方法對心理僵化與精神健康問題之間的關系進行了定量系統綜述。結果發現，心理僵化與抑郁（r=0.580）、焦慮（r=0.548）和壓力症狀（r=0.548）之間均存在較強的顯著正相關關系。相比女性而言，男性群體中心理僵化與抑郁症狀之間的相關關系更強。心理僵化與壓力症狀之間的相關大小受到心理僵化的測量量表和壓力症狀的測量量表的影響。本研究結果表明，心理僵化是抑郁、焦慮和壓力症狀的重要相關因素之一🔭。本研究的實踐意義是，大眾可以通過調整認知和行為、降低心理僵化👩🏽🚒、提高心理靈活性來減少精神健康問題（抑郁、焦慮和壓力症狀）以在疫情期間保持身心健康💇🏻♂️。
An increasing number of research has documented the positive associations between psychological inflexibility (PI) and mental health problems (i.e., depressive, anxiety, and stress symptoms) during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the documented associations have been inconsistent. This review thus aimed to quantitatively summarize primary research to gain better estimates of these associations. A systematic literature review was conducted in six databases and three-level meta-analytic models were used to statistically synthesize effect sizes and to examine moderators of the associations between PI and depressive, anxiety, and stress symptoms.A total of 22 studies yielded 63 effect sizes on associations between PI and depressive, anxiety, or stress symptoms. The results of three separate meta-analyses revealed a large and significant association between PI and depressive (r = 0.580, 95 % CI [0.549; 0.775]), anxiety (r = 0.548, 95 % CI [0.468; 0.761]), and stress symptoms (r = 0.548, 95 % CI [0.506; 0.725]). The association between PI and depressive symptoms is stronger for males than for females, and the association between PI and stress symptoms varies by type of measure that primary studies use to assess PI and stress symptoms.PI seems an important risk factor for symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress, and should therefore be targeted in interventions addressing mental health problems during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.
