Sense of control and positive mental health outcomes among adults in Canada during the COVID-19 pandemic
Articles and reports: 82-003-X202500400002Description: During the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada, there was a decrease in population positive mental health (PMH); however, many individuals still reported high levels of PMH. One potential protective factor could be a sense of control, which involves perceptions of personal mastery and minimal perceived constraints. Limited Canadian research has been conducted on the link between sense of control and PMH during the pandemic. This study examined the association between facets of sense of control (i.e., personal mastery and perceived constraints) and three positive mental health outcomes (i.e., high self-rated mental health, strong community belonging, and life satisfaction) during the pandemic among adults in Canada.
