Resumo(s)
The COVID‐19 pandemic had a huge impact on people's
lives due to the fear of getting infected and having the
disease, as well as the necessary prevention and containment measures. University students were one of the most
affected groups, as they were forced to cope with
significant life changes. However, not all displayed
symptoms of psychological distress, which means that
internal resources such as emotional regulation and
resilience may have acted as protective variables. This
cross‐sectional study aimed to examine the extent to
which the relationship between emotion regulation and
stress, anxiety, depression, and posttraumatic stress
disorder (PTSD) symptoms was mediated by resilience in
a sample of university students. Results showed that
emotion regulation strategies were positively associated
with lower mental health. Some resilience dimensions
mediated these relationships, with perception‐of‐self
mediating all associations. Planned future mediated the
association between emotion regulation and depression,
family cohesion mediated the relation between emotion
regulation and stress, and social resources mediated the
association of cognitive reappraisal with anxiety and PTSD
by suppressing the direct positive relationship. These results highlight the relevance of resilience as a key
resource in coping effectively with the uncertainties, and
changes that arise during stressful periods such as a
pandemic.
