dc.description.abstractStress is a known contributor to psychosocial pathologi-cal conditions and reduction of well-being. The literaturehas highlighted the role of emotional schemas and psy-chological flexibility as psychological processes underly-ing this relationship in the short term. This two-wavelongitudinal study analyses the mediating role of psycho-logical flexibility and emotional schemas in the relation-ship between stress responses to COVID-19-relatedevents and mental health 6 months later. Two hundredand seventy-six individuals were included in this study,completing measures of stress responses, emotionalschemas, psychological flexibility and positive and nega-tive mental health. Negative evaluation of emotions wasa significant mediator in the longitudinal relationshipbetween stress responses and negative mental health.Valued action and openness to experience mediate thelongitudinal relationship between stress responses andpositive mental health. This study underscores theimportance of the different dimensions of psychologicalprocesses, suggesting that over time, more maladaptivepsychological processes play a significant role in eluci-dating the relationship between stress responses and negative mental health. Similarly, it suggests that moreadaptive processes may help explain the relationshipbetween stress responses and positive mental health.This contributes to a better understanding of the stabilityof these processes, which is important for determiningwhich intervention targets should be prioritisedpt_PT
