Media for Coping During COVID-19 Social Distancing: Stress, Anxiety, and Psychological Well-Being
Open accessAbstract
In spring 2020, COVID-19 and the ensuing social distancing and stay-at-home orders instigated abrupt changes to employment and educational infrastructure, leading to uncertainty, concern, and stress among United States college students. The media consumption patterns of this and other social groups across the globe were affected, with early evidence suggesting viewers were seeking both pandemic-themed media and reassuring, familiar content. A general increase in media consumption, and increased consumption of specific types of content, may have been due to media use for coping strategies. This paper examines the relationship between the stress and anxiety of university students and their strategic use of media for coping during initial social distancing periods in March-April 2020 using data from a cross-sectional survey. We examine links between specific types of media use with psychological well-being concepts, and examine the moderating roles of traits (hope, optimism, and resilience) as buffers against negative relationships between stress and anxiety and psychological well-being. Our findings indicate that stress was linked to more hedonic and less eudaimonic media use, as well as more avoidant and escapist media-based coping. Anxiety, on the other hand, was linked to more media use in general, specifically more eudaimonic media use and a full range of media-based coping strategies. In turn, escapist media was linked to negative affect, while reframing media and eudaimonic media were linked to positive affect. Avoidant coping was tied to poorer mental health, and humor coping was tied to better mental health. Hedonic and need-satisfying media use were linked to more flourishing. Hope, optimism, and resilience were all predictive of media use, with the latter two traits moderating responses to stress and anxiety. The findings give a nuanced portrait of college students’ media use during a pandemic-induced shutdown, showing that media use is closely intertwined with well-being in both adaptive and maladaptive patterns.

TL;DR
In a cross-sectional survey of 425 U.S. university students during initial COVID-19 social distancing, stress and anxiety were linked to distinct patterns of media use for coping, with some strategies associated with better and others with worse well-being. Media use partially mediated these relationships, and trait optimism, hope, and resilience moderated several paths.
Key findings
- Stress was associated with more hedonic media use (β = .129, p < .05) and less eudaimonic media use (β = −.167, p < .05), as well as more avoidant (β = .128, p < .05) and escapist (β = .133, p < .05) media coping. Anxiety was associated with more media exposure (β = .160, p < .05), more eudaimonic media use (β = .159, p < .05), and all five media-coping dimensions, including problem-focused (β = .263, p < .001), avoidant (β = .364, p < .001), escapist (β = .424, p < .001), reframing (β = .233, p < .001), and humor coping (β = .238, p < .001).
- Escapist coping was associated with less positive affect (β = −.162, p < .001), avoidant coping with lower mental health (β = −.157, p < .001), and reframing coping with more positive affect (β = .136, p < .01); humor coping was associated with higher mental health (β = .106, p < .01). Hedonic media (β = .157, p < .001) and media need satisfaction (β = .180, p < .001) were associated with more flourishing, and eudaimonic media with more positive affect (β = .094, p < .05).
- Mediation tests found reframing coping suppressed anxiety’s effect on affect (β = .032, SE = .013, 95% CI [.009, .061]), humor coping suppressed anxiety’s effect on mental health (β = .025, SE = .012, 95% CI [.006, .051]), and eudaimonic media suppressed anxiety’s effects on affect (β = .015, SE = .009, 95% CI [.001, .036]) and flourishing (β = .015, SE = .010, 95% CI [.000, .037]). Negative indirect effects appeared for escapist coping on affect and avoidant coping on mental health.
- Optimism, hope, and resilience showed main effects and moderation: optimism negatively predicted avoidant coping and positively predicted affect, mental health, and flourishing; hope positively predicted media exposure, several coping styles, and flourishing; resilience negatively predicted escapist and humor coping and positively predicted affect and mental health. Optimism and resilience moderated stress-to-coping paths, and moderated mediation was found for optimism and resilience via reframing, avoidant, humor, and escapist coping.
Methods
- Cross-sectional survey of students at two American universities that canceled face-to-face instruction the week of March 9, 2020; data collected March 23–April 17, 2020. After screening, N = 425 (M age = 20.19, SD = 2.18; 68.5% women).
- Measures included the 14-item Perceived Stress Scale, 7-item GAD-7, self-reported media exposure across 12 media types, a 28-item Brief COPE adapted to media use, hedonic and eudaimonic media motivations, intrinsic need satisfaction via media, trait optimism, hope, resilience, and outcomes of affect, mental health, and flourishing.
- Analyses included descriptive statistics and correlations, exploratory factor analysis of media coping, hierarchical regression models, and parallel mediation/moderation tests using PROCESS with 10,000 bootstrap samples.
Limitations
- Stated by the authors: the cross-sectional design cannot establish causal direction; the non-probability sample from two large public universities is not representative of all U.S. college students; self-reported media use may inflate relationships with well-being; the measure did not capture media multitasking or separate multitasking from solo media use; some effect sizes were small; and multiple testing of mediators and moderators may have inflated alpha error.
- Evident from the text: the sample was predominantly women (68.5%) and White/Caucasian (78.1%), which further limits generalizability beyond the authors’ stated non-representativeness.
- Evident from the text: several findings rely on small effects and near-zero estimates, and the authors caution against overinterpreting them without replication in larger samples.

“Anxious individuals, in contrast, seem to demonstrate a twofold strategy: while they too addressed their negative affective state with short-term, emotion-focused coping strategies such as avoidance, escapism, and humor-based coping, they also use media for problem-focused coping, presumably to address the more persistent nature of anxiety.”

Self-check
Percentages, sums and reported differences re-computed from the paper’s own numbers.
Each contradiction between two passages listed here was confirmed by an independent check.
Rated major: it would touch a result — a value a result rests on, reported and recomputed p-values on opposite sides of the significance level, two passages that conflict with no sign which is right, or a cited work retracted before this paper was published.
In the paper

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.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-09, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-09 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
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.
