Identity-based social support predicts mental and physical health outcomes during COVID-19

Holly Carter et al.

Summary: This study found that social identity and perceived social support played important roles in mental and physical health outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic. Higher identity continuity and identification with communities predicted better mental and physical health, mediated by perceived social support. Interestingly, higher identity continuity and identification with communities also predicted higher social support, which in turn predicted worse mental and physical health outcomes.

Minmin Jiang et al.

Summary: This cross-sectional study explores the serial multiple mediation of the correlation between internet addiction and depression by social support and sleep quality of college students during the COVID-19 epidemic. The findings indicate that internet addiction is directly related to college students' depression and indirectly predicts depression via the mediators of social support and sleep quality. The study suggests strengthening monitoring of internet use, increasing social support, and improving sleep quality to reduce the risk of depression among college students during the COVID-19 epidemic.

The moderating role of gender in the association between quality of social relationships and sleep

Zahra Mousavi et al.

Summary: The study found that perceived social support and strain are associated with sleep outcomes. For women, social support is associated with lower sleep disturbance, while perceived social strain is associated with higher sleep disturbance and other negative impacts. This suggests that the influence of social relationships on sleep quality may vary by gender.

Social support and psychological well-being in younger and older adults: The mediating effects of basic psychological need satisfaction

Huiyoung Shin et al.

Summary: This study examined the associations between different types of social support (spouses, children, friends, and parents) and psychological well-being (happiness and depressive symptoms), and the mediating effects of basic psychological need satisfaction (autonomy, competence, and relatedness) in these associations. The results showed that social support from spouses and friends had the strongest associations with happiness and depressive symptoms. Additionally, the satisfaction of needs for autonomy and relatedness mediated the associations between social support from spouses and friends, and happiness and depressive symptoms. However, these associations varied by age groups, with the satisfaction of needs for autonomy and relatedness being critical for supporting well-being in both younger and older adults.

Examining bidirectional associations between perceived social support and psychological symptoms in the context of stressful event exposure: a prospective, longitudinal study

Sarah Thomas et al.

Summary: Higher perceived social support is associated with decreased risk for psychological symptoms post stressful event exposure. This study found that perceived social support remained relatively stable under exposure to environmental stressors such as military deployment. Social support may protect against depressive symptoms via a stress-buffering mechanism, but may need to be more tailored to individual needs for protection against PTS symptoms.

Risk and protective factors for college students' psychological health during the COVID-19 pandemic

Ilana Haliwa et al.

Summary: This study aimed to identify risk and protective factors for college students' psychological health during the COVID-19 pandemic.

It suggests that programs teaching mindfulness and fostering supportive relationships can help protect college students' mental well-being during the pandemic.

The Rhythm is Gonna Get You: Social Rhythms, Sleep, Depressive, and Anxiety Symptoms

Sahar M. Sabet et al.

Summary: The study examined the role of sleep thoughts and behaviors as mediators of the association between social rhythms and mental health symptoms of depression and anxiety in a sample of 3,284 adults. The results showed that greater social rhythmicity is directly associated with fewer depressive and anxiety symptoms, and that healthier sleep behaviors and thoughts mediate this association. The findings highlight the critical role lifestyle regularity plays in depressive and anxious symptom pathology, with sleep behaviors and thoughts playing complementary roles in the link between regularity and mental health.

Summary: Syrian refugees in Germany are coping with acculturation and mental health issues. This study found that affiliation with German culture is positively associated with wellbeing, indicating that more acculturation to German culture may promote positive mental health. Higher levels of social support were associated with lower levels of wellbeing and higher levels of depressive symptoms, suggesting a complex relationship that could involve factors like reverse causality or connections with their homeland.
