Abstract

This three-wave population representative study (N=1,333), with data collected amid COVID-19, adopted moderation path analyses and revealed that positive coping strategies inversely related to probable psychiatric conditions, specifically under sustained daily routines. In face of large-scale disasters, positive coping is implicated in psychological resilience under resourceful everyday life contexts.
