2019冠状病毒病大流行广泛地改变了心理科学的状态，从心理学家可以提出什么研究问题到心理学家可以采用什么方法来调查这些问题。在这篇文章中，我们提供了一个关于如何在大流行之后优化新研究的观点。由于这种流行病本质上是一种社会现象，一种依赖于人与人之间接触的事件，我们关注与社会相关的心理学子领域。我们强调了可能由于大流行而发生变化的特定心理现象，并讨论了对这些现象进行研究的理论，方法和实践考虑。在这次讨论之后，我们评估了被大流行放大的元科学问题。我们的目标是展示对COVID-19大流行的理论观点如何有助于使心理科学在其之后变得更强大-而不是更弱。
The COVID-19 pandemic has extensively changed the state of psychological science, from what research questions psychologists can ask to which methodologies psychologists can employ to investigate them. In this article, we offer a perspective on how to optimize new research in the pandemic’s wake. As this pandemic is inherently a social phenomenon—an event that hinges upon human-to-human contact—we focus on socially relevant subfields of psychology. We highlight specific psychological phenomena that have likely shifted due to the pandemic and discuss theoretical, methodological, and practical considerations of conducting research on these phenomena. Following this discussion, we evaluate meta-scientific issues that have been amplified by the pandemic. We aim to demonstrate how theoretically grounded views on the COVID-19 pandemic can help make psychological science stronger—not weaker—in its wake.
