报告摘要:

Challenge happens across the lifespan. Positive psychologists suggested people to get prepared before the challenges happen, rather than to fix the after effects. Individual capacity has been identified as a crucial role in coping various situations, but people of different age groups have their own strategies of coping. Researchers have found significant differences of adaptive styles between adolescents and emerging adults (Obradović, Burt, & Masten, 2006), but what cause such differences remains underexplored. This study aims at understanding the underlying mechanisms of why adolescents and emerging adults adapt to challenges differently. Executive function -- a cognitive regulation capacity -- affects how young people cope with unexpected challenges, such as COVID-19. We believe the understanding of the underlying mechanism of executive function would inspire young people to develop a higher resilience, get better prepared on possible adversity, and have a higher health-related quality of life.
