As noted above, we expect that people with high altruism may have had more negative mental health outcomes (anxiety and depressive symptoms) during the self-isolation period, which could verify the mediating role of positive or negative affect. Correlations between mental health and other variables Table 2 shows the results of the Spearman correlations between perceived risk, altruism, positive affect, negative affect, anxiety and depressive symptoms. Figure 2 shows the final SEM model, which fit the data well In summary, the moderating effect of altruism was completely mediated by negative affect, suggesting that when people perceive a high risk of COVID-19, those with high altruism may show worse mental health outcomes than those with low altruism because they may experience greater negative affect.	./cache/cord-280667-wpju6pwi.txt	./txt/cord-280667-wpju6pwi.txt
