Abstract
This intensive longitudinal study on the general parental population during the COVID-19 pandemic revealed that psychopathological processes (helplessness, rumination) were mostly interwoven with feeling worthless and depressed across days. Within-day and within-person effects revealed that emotion regulation difficulties tied the cluster of depressive symptoms and parenting stress symptoms together.
