neither induced a beneficial nor negative change in people’s well-being during the Covid-19 crisis. To arrive at these conclusions, the researchers monitored changes in people’s psychological well-being between December 2019 and May 2020.

The researchers believe their work offers a path forward for the many therapists and mental health workers seeking to understand how to best treat the effects of pandemic-induced anxiety and distress. They state, “These findings imply that the Covid-19 pandemic represents not only a major medical and economic crisis, but also has a psychological dimension” and that “psychological practitioners should address potential declines in subjective well-being with their clients and attempt to enhance clients’ general capability to use functional stress appraisals and effective coping strategies.”Zacher, H., & Rudolph, C.
