Coping with Corona (CoCo): Understanding individual differences in well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic

COVID-19疫情不仅对人们的身体健康构成重大威胁，也对他们的心理健康构成重大威胁。为了控制这一流行病，世界各国政府已强制执行限制人们日常活动和限制与他人社交接触的政策。重要的是，每个人科普这些社会挑战的方式不同。应对电晕（CoCo）项目旨在预测（建立理论推导和数据驱动的预测模型）和理解（解包调解情况选择，人际感知和情绪协同调节过程）在大流行期间的个体差异。这些目标将通过对现有数据进行全面的大规模分析和基于智能手机的大规模国际评估（包括对日常感受和想法的经验采样，对日常社会行为和背景的移动的感知以及个性化反馈）来实现。CoCo团队整合了个性、关系、发展、网络和行为数据科学领域领先研究人员的跨学科专业知识。该项目将产生具有经验、理论和实践重要性的见解。具体而言，研究结果提供了关于不同人如何科普流行病的丰富描述，以及解释这些差异的人与环境交易的新见解。这将是大规模提供个性化工具以促进个人、群体和社会在流行病后的心理复原力的迫切需要的一步。

The COVID-19 pandemic not only poses major threats to people’s physical health but also to their psychological well-being. To manage the pandemic, governments around the world have mandated policies that restrict people’s daily activities and limit social contact with others. Importantly, individuals differ in how they cope with these social challenges. The Coping with Corona (CoCo) Project aims to predict (build up theoretically derived and data-driven prediction models) and understand (unpack mediating situation selection, interpersonal perception, and emotional co-regulation processes) individual differences in well-being during the pandemic. These goals will be pursued by a comprehensive mega-analysis of existing data and large-scale international smartphone-based assessments (including experience sampling of everyday feelings and thoughts, mobile sensing of everyday social behaviors and contexts, and personalized feedback). The CoCo team integrates interdisciplinary expertise of leading researchers in the fields of personality, relationship, developmental, network, and behavioral data science. This project will generate insights of empirical, theoretical and practical importance. Specifically, results provide a rich description of how different people cope with pandemics, and novel insights on person-environment transactions that explain these differences. This will constitute a sorely needed step towards the large-scale availability of personalized tools to foster psychological resilience in individuals, groups, and societies in the wake of pandemics.
