PURPOSE: Reducing the spread of infection during the COVID-19 pandemic prompted
recommendations for individuals to socially distance. Little is known about the
extent to which youth are socially distancing, what motivations underlie their
social distancing, and how these motivations are connected with amount of social
distancing, mental health, and social health. Using a large sample of adolescents
from across the United States, this study examined adolescents' motivations for
social distancing, their engagement in social distancing, and their mental and
social health. METHODS: Data were collected on March 29th and 30th, 2020, two
weeks after COVID-19 was declared a national emergency in the United States. The
sample consisted of 683 adolescents recruited using social media. A series of
multiple linear regressions examined unique associations among adolescents'
motivations to engage in social distancing, perceived amount of social
distancing, anxiety symptoms, depressive symptoms, burdensomeness, and
belongingness. RESULTS: Almost all respondents (98.1%) reported engaging in at
least a little social distancing. The most commonly reported motivations for
social distancing concerned social responsibility and not wanting others to get
sick. Motivations concerning state or city lockdowns, parental rules, and social
responsibility were associated with greater social distancing, whereas
motivations concerning no alternatives were associated with less social
distancing. Specific motivations for social distancing were differentially
associated with adolescents' anxiety symptoms, depressive symptoms,
burdensomeness, and belongingness. CONCLUSIONS: Understanding adolescents'
motivations to engage in social distancing may inform strategies to increase
social distancing engagement, reduce pathogen transmission, and identify
individual differences in mental and social health during the COVID-19 pandemic.
