Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Social Sciences
  • Resilience Research

Background:

  • Coping self-efficacy (CSE) is crucial for psychological adaptation after adversity.
  • Previous research indicates collective traumas can decrease perceived coping abilities.
  • The effect of stress exposure on future CSE projections was previously unknown.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of COVID-19 hardships on future coping self-efficacy (FUTURE-CSE).
  • To examine the relationship between FUTURE-CSE and psychological distress.
  • To provide empirical support for the notion that adversity can enhance future preparedness.

Main Methods:

  • Longitudinal study with 1245 adult Poles interviewed three times between July 2021 and August 2022.
  • Assessed COVID-19 hardships (stressors, virus exposure) and FUTURE-CSE.
  • Controlled for sociodemographic factors, psychological distress, and prior CSE levels.

Main Results:

  • COVID-19 hardships were associated with increased confidence in FUTURE-CSE.
  • FUTURE-CSE was linked to lower concurrent psychological distress symptoms.
  • The protective effect of FUTURE-CSE remained significant after controlling for multiple variables.

Conclusions:

  • Contrary to some expectations, pandemic-related hardships enhanced individuals' belief in their ability to cope with future challenges.
  • Higher FUTURE-CSE demonstrated a protective function against psychological distress.
  • Findings support the idea that overcoming adversity can strengthen resilience and future preparedness.
