Description
Coronavirus offers a powerful opportunity to study the factors that can increase resilience. Most people are experiencing highly stressful conditions during the pandemic and habits are broken with the stay at home orders which provides the context for adopting new habits. Resilience, in this research, is not only the ability to “bounce back” from adversity (resilience) but also the increased capacity to take on future challenges (general-self efficacy). When considering resilience practices, evidence suggests that a healthy diet predicts above and beyond coping skills (social support, spiritual practices, growth/reframing, and time management/planning). Additionally, evidence suggests that perceived stress moderates the relationship between a healthy diet and general self-efficacy.
