Role of Media Consumption, Governmental Distrust & Psychological Vulnerability in Predicting Affective Well-being of University Students & Healthcare Professionals during COVID-19
2024
Overview
The present research aimed to explore the role of media consumption, governmental distrust, and psychological vulnerability in predicting the practical well-being of university students and healthcare professionals during COVID-19. Two correlational studies were conducted. Study 1 was conducted with 411 university students (206 Women; 205 men), and it was conducted during the first lockdown in Pakistan. Study 2 was conducted during the thigh-intensity phase he COVID-19, and the sample comprised 375 healthcare professionals (198 women; 177 men). Both studies showed that higher levels of media consumption, governmental distrust, and psychological vulnerability were associated with lower levels of well-being. Our path models in both studies (with students and healthcare professionals) indicate that during the pandemic, participants’ level of media consumption, trust in the government, and their personal vulnerability were negatively associated with their affective well-being. These findings have implications for individuals’ affective well-being during healthcare crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
Plain Language Summary
This research paper investigates the impact of media consumption and distrust in government on psychological vulnerability and well-being during times of stress, specifically the COVID-19 pandemic. Two correlational studies were conducted to examine this relationship. Study 1 involved university students, while Study 2 focused on medical professionals. The results from both studies consistently revealed that higher levels of media consumption and governmental distrust were associated with increased psychological vulnerability and were negatively linked to the well-being of both groups. These findings carry significant implications for individuals’ emotional well-being during challenging periods, as people often rely on media for information and look to the government for support.
