Abstract

During the pandemic, people may experience various mental health problems. Psychological strengths may help them to cope with emerging challenges and foster mental health and well-being. This study examined the associations between resilience, dispositional hope, preventive behaviours, subjective well-being, and psychological health among adults during early stage of COVID-19. A total of 220 participants from general public participated this study completing a battery of measures (134 men [M age = 42.36 years, SD = 8.99, range = 18 to 60] and 86 women [M age = 36.73 years, SD = 7.44, range = 18 to 51]). This cross-section study indicated that resilience mediated the relationship between hope and psychological health and subjective well-being. Results also showed that hope, and resilience had significant direct effects on psychological health, and subjective well-being while preventive behaviours did not manifest a significant effect on these two variables except on resilience. Preventive behaviours mediated the relationship between hope and resilience. The results suggest that we should more pay attention to hope and resilience for the development and improvement of well-being and psychological health during the times of crisis.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Online mental health has advantages and possible disadvantages.

    “It is crucial to acknowledge the need and advantage of online mental health while being cautious to pay attention to possible disadvantages (8,19,20,24).”

    From A proposed framework based on literature review of online contextual mental health services to enhance wellbeing and address psychopathology during covid-19 (2020) · cites this paper as [8]

    The Implication and limitations section recommends online hope and resilience training because it limits physical contact and says technology can conveniently deliver psychological programs. It does not discuss possible disadvantages of online mental health care. Its concern about excluding people without internet access applies to the study’s online survey, not to mental health care.

  • Mental health issues including depression, stress, anxiety, fear, physical isolation and feeling alone, behavioral issues, possible posttraumatic stress disorders, and burnout can affect large numbers of individuals if these issues are not well addressed during COVID-19.

    “Furthermore, mental health issues including depression, stress, anxiety (3-8), fear (9-11), physical isolation and feeling alone (12), behavioral issues (4,13), possible posttraumatic stress disorders (3), and burnout (14) can affect large numbers of individuals if these issues are not well addressed.”

    From A proposed framework based on literature review of online contextual mental health services to enhance wellbeing and address psychopathology during covid-19 (2020) · cites this paper as [8]

    The introductory section says anxiety and depression can make it difficult to maintain positive mental health, and the Implication and limitations section warns of mental health problems following traumatic stress. The paper does not support the full list of conditions or the assertion that large numbers of people will be affected if those issues are not addressed. (LLM, conf=0.84)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • Most people in Turkey have had difficult and unenjoyable experiences (mild to severe levels) based on various factors (e.g., province, SES, and history of mental health) during the initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic.

    “Most people in Turkey have had difficult and unenjoyable experiences (mild to severe levels) based on various factors (e.g., province, SES, and history of mental health) during the initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic (8,11,18).”

    From A proposed framework based on literature review of online contextual mental health services to enhance wellbeing and address psychopathology during covid-19 (2020) · cites this paper as [8]

    The Procedure and Method Participants sections describe an early-pandemic study of 220 adults recruited in Turkey, and the Results report measures of subjective well-being and psychological health. The paper does not establish that most people in Turkey had difficult or unenjoyable experiences, classify those experiences from mild to severe, or link them to province, socioeconomic status, or mental-health history. Its convenience sample also cannot support a population-wide claim. (LLM, conf=0.78)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
