This study aimed to explore (a) whether the level of perceived stress to the COVID-19 pandemic would link with emotional distress (i.e., depression, fear, compulsion-anxiety, neurasthenia, and hypochondria), (b) whether boredom proneness would mediate the relationship between perceived stress and emotional distress, (c) and whether the direct path between perceived stress and emotional distress would be moderated by individuals' coping style. The results demonstrated that individuals who experienced greater perceived stress about the COVID-19 pandemic reported more emotional distress measured by PQEEPH including depression, fear, compulsion-anxiety, neurasthenia, and hypochondria. ./cache/cord-312362-i18rlo2r.txt ./txt/cord-312362-i18rlo2r.txt
