Abstract

An online, cross-sectional study of college students during the COVID-19 pandemic showed that pandemic stress interacted with benefit finding (BF) to predict anxiety and depressive symptoms. Students with low levels of BF had stronger positive relationships between stress and symptoms of anxiety and depression compared to those high in BF.
