Covid-Gender-Longitudinal

SPSS data (one cross-sectional and other longitudinal) of a research about the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on self-efficacy to regulate negative emotion (RESE-NE) and anxiety, with a gender perspective. The results of the cross-sectional study confirm that RESE-NE decreases and anxiety increases more significantly for women than for men during the confinement. Longitudinal data show that the recovery of pre-pandemic levels of RESE-NE and anxiety once the confinement has ended was slower for women than for men; moreover the mediational role of RESE-NE on the resilience-anxiety and positivity anxiety links was confirmed.
