Emotions in the face of the coronavirus pandemic: the role of a strategy coping with stress, social support and the needs of cognitive closure

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the research was to analyze the relationship between the level of emotions (positive and negative) and the aspects of social support, coping strategies and need for cognitive closure in adult Poles during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study was published on March 27, 2020 and 212 people attended it. The following tools were used: Multidimensional Questionnaire for Measuring Coping with Stress (mini COPE), Berlin Social Support Scale (BSSS) and scales of positive and negative emotions. The results show that the use of emotion-oriented coping strategies and a higher level of determination (the need for cognitive closure) were associated with a higher level of positive and lower negative emotions. The use of strategies focused on avoiding stress and preferring predictability (the need for cognitive closure) was accompanied by a lower level of positive emotions and a higher level of negative emotions. People showing a higher level of perceived, given and received social support experienced more positive emotions, and the low level of negative emotions was associated with perceived and provided support.
