This factor had the greatest associations with the DASS-21 (β = −0.48) and SEC (β = 0.48), followed by the GHQ-12 (β = −0.38), indicating that people well-endowed with transcendence strengths (e.g. hope, zest, gratitude) scored higher for general mental health, lower for psychological distress (fewer symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress), and higher for self-efficacy in coping with the lockdown situation. Turning to our main aim, we examined the associations between character strengths and both mental health (in general, and distress in particular) and Covid-19-related self-efficacy at both factor and single-strength levels. In conclusion, this study examines the associations of character strengths with Covid-19-related psychological distress and self-efficacy under lockdown in such a severelyaffected population as the Italian one.	./cache/cord-353588-8uyezpko.txt	./txt/cord-353588-8uyezpko.txt
