Abstract

COVID-19 has greatly impacted people’s lives. Active coping strategies are shown to work better for general anxiety than passive strategies, yet no studies examined the effect of active versus passive coping strategies on anxiety in college students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Undergraduate college students enrolled in classes during Spring semester 2020 (n=181, [%] female; [%] White) completed questionnaires measuring coping strategies (Brief COPE), anxiety (PROMIS Anxiety), and perceived stress (Kessler Stress Scale) via Qualtrics between April 6, 2020 and June 6, 2020. Correlational analysis showed that active coping is better than passive coping for anxiety in college students during the COVID-19 pandemic.
