Abstract:
Objective:To explore the bidirectional relationship between adaptability and insomnia symptoms in college students.Methods:A longitudinal study was conducted across three phases over a span of two years,invol-ving a sample of 13 861 students from a comprehensive university in Shandong Province.The Adaptability Scale(APAS)and the Insomnia Symptoms Scale(ISI)were used to measure adaptability and insomnia symptoms,re-spectively.A latent variable structural equation model was applied to assess the cross-lagged associations between a-daptability and insomnia symptoms over time.Results:The Baseline APAS scores negatively predicted the ISI scores one year later(β=-0.05,P＜0.001),and the APAS scores at one year negatively predicted the ISI scores at the two-year mark(β=-0.04,P＜0.001).Similarly,the baseline ISI scores negatively predicted the APAS scores one year later(β=-0.06,P＜0.001),and the ISI scores at one year negatively predicted the APAS scores two years later(β=-0.03,P＜0.01).Conclusion:The study demonstrates that adaptability helps prevent insom-nia symptoms in students,while insomnia negatively impacts students'adaptability.
