Mechanisms and Contingencies of Stress in University Students: A Systematic Scoping Review of Stress Mediators and Moderators
Overview
This systematic scoping review examines stress mediators and moderators in university students by analyzing 30 studies that utilized conditional process analyses. The authors identify eight general perspectives for intervening variables, including self-standards, motivation, cognitive content, and social resources. The resource highlights a predominance of mediation analysis over moderation and notes limited inclusion of physiological measurements in the reviewed literature.
