The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic can be identified as a source of traumatic stress. Previous studies have shown that post-traumatic stress and intolerance uncertainty are associated with aggressive behaviour.In the present study, we aimed to test serial mediation model, considering rumination symptoms (PTSS) mediators link aggression, while controlling confounding effect crisis-induced health socioeconomic stressors during COVID-19 pandemic.A total 714 participants [533 (74.6%) females, 176 (24.7%) males, aged 18-64 years (Mage = 25.16, SDage 9.34)] completed following self-reported scales: Aggression Scale, checklist, Short Version Intolerance Uncertainty Impact Event Scale Modifications for COVID-19, Ruminative Thought Style Questionnaire.The results revealed there was an association between behaviours. Moreover, analysis showed predicts behaviours via PTSS. Besides, significantly level PTSS not aggression.The findings provide several contributions understand pandemic, confirm importance early psychological intervention, especially those who more likely ruminate suffer from PTSS, prevent aggression violence in long run. In addition health-related regulations, it is important take social economic aspects crisis into account develop intervention strategies accordingly. Nevertheless, limitations cross-sectional explaining causal relationships should kept mind, future extend these using longitudinal data.Antecedentes: La pandemia por se puede identificar como una fuente de estrés traumático, y estudios previos mostraron que el postraumático la intolerancia incertidumbre están asociados con comportamiento agresivo.Objetivo: En presente estudio, nuestro objetivo fue probar un modelo mediación en serie, considerando rumiación los síntomas (SEPT) mediadores vinculan agresión, controlando efecto confusión factores estresantes socioeconómicos salud inducidos durante COVID-19.Método: Un participantes (533 [74,6%] mujeres, [24,7%] hombres entre 18 64 años (Medad DEedad 9.34) completaron las siguientes escalas auto-reporte: Escala Lista Chequeo Factores Estresantes Versión Corta Intolerancia incertidumbre, Impacto Eventos modificaciones para Cuestionario Estilo Pensamiento Rumiante.Resultados: Los resultados revelaron asociación conductas agresivas.

We investigated whether the impact of potentially traumatic events (PTEs) on trauma-related symptoms changes across transitional adult lifespan (i.e., 16-100 years old) and if this association differs for self-reported COVID-19-related PTEs compared to other PTEs. A web-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 7,034 participants from 88 countries between late April October 2020. Participants completed Global Psychotrauma Screen (GPS), a self-report questionnaire assessing symptoms. Data were analyzed using linear logistic regression analyses general models. found that older age associated with lower GPS total symptom scores, B = -0.02, p < .001; remained significant but substantially weaker PTEs, 0.02, .009. The results suggest an ratings GPS, indicating blunted presentation. This age-related trend smaller reflecting relatively higher COVID-19 pandemic adults.
