COVID-19大流行和封锁等政府干预可能严重影响人们的心理健康。虽然封锁有助于遏制病毒的传播,但可能对人口福祉造成重大损害。我们使用谷歌Trends的数据来测试COVID-19和欧洲和美国实施的相关封锁是否导致了与福祉相关的主题搜索词的变化。使用差异中的差异和回归不连续设计,我们发现欧洲和美国对无聊的搜索强度大幅增加。我们还发现,“孤独”、“担忧”和“悲伤”的搜索量显著增加,而“压力”、“自杀”和“离婚”的搜索量则相反下降。我们的研究结果表明,人们的心理健康可能受到大流行和封锁的严重影响。
The COVID-19 pandemic and government intervention such as lockdowns may severely affect people’s mental health. While lockdowns can help to contain the spread of the virus, they may result in substantial damage to population well-being. We use Google Trends data to test whether COVID-19 and the associated lockdowns implemented in Europe and America led to changes in well-being related topic search-terms. Using difference-in-differences and a regression discontinuity design, we find a substantial increase in the search intensity for boredom in Europe and the US. We also found a significant increase in searches for loneliness, worry and sadness, while searches for stress, suicide and divorce on the contrary fell. Our results suggest that people’s mental health may have been severely affected by the pandemic and lockdown.
