Individual Differences in Patterns of Developmental Opportunity and Constraint During COVID-19: Implications for Longitudinal Well-Being.

ABSTRACT: Individual differences in sociodemographic characteristics and trait-like perceptions of opportunities and constraints may shape responses to adversities such as the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, little is known about how these factors combine to form multifaceted profiles of developmental opportunity and constraint or the implications of such profiles for longitudinal well-being following major life stressors. Using a national sample of U.S. adults (n = 293), we used latent profile analysis to identify profiles based on relevant sociodemographic characteristics (age, SES, chronic conditions, functional status) and trait-like perceptions of opportunity and constraints (perceived mastery, perceived constraints). Results showed that three common profiles emerged at pandemic
