According to protection motivation theory, we hypothesized that the association between the exposure level during the COVID-19 epidemic and mental health problems was mediated by both individuals' perceived threat of COVID-19 risk and their coping efficacy (see Fig. 1 ). This hypothesis is based on the fact that numerous studies have indicated Fig. 1 Proposed model of exposure level, risk perception and mental health problems that self-efficacy is an effective factor to cope with a crisis and buffer psychological distress [34] . Overall, this study confirmed the psychological typhoon eye effect during the outbreak of COVID-19 in China and demonstrated the mediating role of coping efficacy and perceived threat between exposure to COVID-19 and mental health problems.	./cache/cord-293427-hwkmvo4p.txt	./txt/cord-293427-hwkmvo4p.txt
