社交距离和“呆在家里”的命令对于遏制新型冠状病毒爆发（COVID-19）至关重要，但人们担心这些措施会增加孤独感，特别是弱势群体。本研究考察了为控制冠状病毒传播而采取的社会限制措施对孤独感的影响。一个全国范围的美国成年人样本（N = 1，545; 45%女性;年龄18 - 98岁，M = 53.68，SD = 15.63）在三种情况下进行评估：2020年1月底/2月初（疫情爆发前），3月下旬，（在总统最初的“15天减缓传播”运动期间）和4月下旬（在大多数州的“呆在家里”政策期间）。与预期相反，在三次评估中，孤独感没有显著的平均水平变化（d = 0.04，p > 0.05）。事实上，受访者在随访期间感受到了来自他人的更多支持（d = 0.19，p <0.01）。与年轻年龄组相比，老年人总体上报告的孤独感较少，但在爆发的急性期孤独感增加（d = 0.14，p <0.05）。然而，他们的孤独感在发布呆在家里的命令后稳定了下来。独居者和至少有一种慢性疾病的人在基线时感到孤独，但在实施社交距离措施期间孤独感并没有增加。尽管对弱势个体产生了一些不利影响，但在目前的样本中，孤独感并没有大幅增加，而是在应对COVID-19时表现出了非凡的韧性。
Social distancing and ‘stay-at-home’ orders are essential to contain the coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19), but there is concern that these measures will increase feelings of loneliness, particularly in vulnerable groups. The present study examined change in loneliness in response to the social restriction measures taken to control the coronavirus spread. A nation-wide sample of American adults (N = 1,545; 45% women; age 18 to 98, M = 53.68, SD = 15.63) was assessed on three occasions: in late-January/early-February 2020 (before the outbreak), in late-March (during the President’s initial ‘15 Days to Slow the Spread’ campaign), and in late-April (during the ‘stay-at-home’ policies of most states). Contrary to expectations, there were no significant mean-level changes in loneliness across the three assessments (d = .04, p > .05). In fact, respondents perceived increased support from others over the follow-up period (d = .19, p < .01). Older adults reported less loneliness overall compared to younger age groups but had an increase in loneliness during the acute phase of the outbreak (d = .14, p <.05). Their loneliness, however, leveled off after the issuance of stay-at-home orders. Individuals living alone and those with at least one chronic condition reported feeling lonelier at baseline but did not increase in loneliness during the implementation of social distancing measures. Despite some detrimental impact on vulnerable individuals, in the present sample, there was no large increase in loneliness but remarkable resilience in response to COVID-19.
