The moderating and mediating roles of mindfulness and rumination on COVID-19 stress and depression: A longitudinal study of young adults.

What is it about?

We found that mindfulness (i.e., being open and present) is a trait that helps alleviate the negative psychological consequences of COVID-19-related stress and rumination (i.e., repetitive and negative thinking) on depression. We also investigated how these patterns change over time.
