COVID-19疫情已成为我们这个时代最大的公共卫生危机之一。各国政府的应对措施是实施自我隔离和物理距离措施，这些措施深刻影响了世界各地的日常生活。在这项研究中，我们的目的是调查人们在大流行期间如何体验他们生活中的活动，互动和环境。样本（N = 604）于2020年3月25日在爱尔兰进行评估，当时学校和非必要企业关闭。我们研究了情绪幸福感和人们如何度过时间的人内差异。我们发现，虽然大部分时间都花在家里（74%），但花在户外的时间（8%）与积极情绪的显著提高和消极情绪的减少有关。锻炼、散步、园艺、追求爱好和照顾孩子是与最大情感益处相关的活动。在情感体验方面，在家教育儿童和获取有关COVID-19的信息在所有活动中排名最低。这些发现强调了在大流行期间可能对健康起到保护作用的活动，限制接触COVID-19相关媒体报道的重要性，以及在这一充满挑战的时期需要更多的教育支持以促进家庭教育。
The COVID-19 outbreak has become one of the largest public health crises of our time. Governments have responded by implementing self-isolation and physical distancing measures that have profoundly impacted daily life throughout the world. In this study, we aimed to investigate how people experience the activities, interactions, and settings of their lives during the pandemic. The sample (N = 604) was assessed in Ireland on the 25 March 2020, following the closure of schools and non-essential businesses. We examined within-person variance in emotional well-being and how people spend their time. We found that while most time was spent in the home (74%), time spent outdoors (8%) was associated with markedly raised positive affect and reduced negative emotions. Exercising, going for walks, gardening, pursuing hobbies, and taking care of children were the activities associated with the greatest affective benefits. Home-schooling children and obtaining information about COVID-19 were ranked lowest of all activities in terms of emotional experience. These findings highlight activities that may play a protective role in relation to well-being during the pandemic, the importance of setting limits for exposure to COVID-19-related media coverage, and the need for greater educational supports to facilitate home-schooling during this challenging period.
