About this Research Topic
The aim of this Research Topic is to collect original articles on how the experience of COVID-19 and its related lockdowns have changed the lives of millions of people worldwide, i.e., on how the pandemic has differently impacted psychological, cognitive, emotional, behavioral, relational and communicative terms individuals, who are different for age (children, adolescents, young people, emerging adulthood, adults, elderly people), profession (health workers, teachers, students, but also other categories of workers, etc.), previous or existing diseases or frail conditions, etc.
Changes include both negative outcomes in terms of physical and psychological consequences and positive outcomes in terms of increased resilience.
Obviously, these changes have not only affected individuals but also the groups (family, work, friendship groups, etc.) in which they are involved.
