The UIB undertakes study into how people react to COVID-19 during lockdown

Researchers from the Department of Psychology have set up an anonymous online survey for the entire country, in collaboration with York University (Canada)

A team of researchers from the Department of Psychology are collecting data through an anonymous online survey about people's response to COVID-19 during lockdown. The main aim is to detect different profiles in people's behaviour in light of this particular situation, based on variables such as socio-demographics, occupation, socioeconomics, personality, etc.

What threat level do they see regarding COVID-19? What are the most common plans to have been interrupted by lockdown? How do we see our responsibility with regard to the coronavirus? What self-control measures are people adopting to see whether they may be infected? What avoidance and positive behaviours are most common to avoid infection? What level of self-efficacy do people see to avoid infection? What coping mechanisms are most widespread with regard to lockdown? What is the most common type of social support? And what are the most common moods and sensations that have come out of lockdown?

These are just some of the questions being looked into by the study, implemented by the Data Analysis Research Group (GRAD) in the area of Methodology of Behavioural Sciences at the UIB, in collaboration with York University (Canada). The anonymous online survey is open to the general public.
