Exposure to stressors is known to lead to psychological impairment over time. However, the proximal relation between stressors and distress remains unclear, particularly among emerging adults with existing mental health concerns. Using daily diary methods, we explored the associations between five subtypes of daily stressors and negative affect among 160 post-secondary students with recent nonsuicidal self-injury engagement. We also examined whether this relation was moderated by coping strategies. We found a robust relation between daily stressors and negative affect, such that in most same-day and next-day models, relative increases in daily stressors led to increased negative affect. In contrast, we found that heightened negative affect only predicted daily stressor occurrence in same-day models. Problem-focused and socially-supported coping moderated the effect between social mistreatment and distress. Findings emphasize the need to adopt stress mitigation strategies in post-secondary contexts, as stressors may contribute to ongoing distress among students with mental health concerns.

最近有非自杀性自残行为的专上学生日常压力源与负面影响之间的内部关联的日记研究

众所周知，随着时间的推移，暴露在压力源下会导致心理障碍。然而，压力源和痛苦之间的密切关系仍不清楚，特别是在存在心理健康问题的新兴成年人中。我们使用每日日记方法，探讨了 160 名近期有过非自杀性自残行为的专上学生的五种日常压力源亚型与负面情绪之间的关联。我们还研究了这种关系是否受到应对策略的调节。我们发现日常压力源和负面情绪之间存在紧密的关系，因此在大多数当天和第二天的模型中，每日压力源的相对增加会导致负面情绪的增加。相比之下，我们发现，在当天的模型中，负面情绪的加剧只能预测每日压力源的发生。以问题为中心和社会支持的应对方式缓和了社会虐待和痛苦之间的影响。研究结果强调，有必要在中学后采取缓解压力的策略，因为压力源可能会导致有心理健康问题的学生持续感到痛苦。
