RAPID: Assessing the Social Consequences of COVID-19

该项目研究了COVID-19以及州和地方政府的社交距离指令对行为、与他人共度的时间、技术使用以及身心健康的影响。该项目的目的是实时调查这些日常生活的影响，并分析这些影响如何受到影响时间使用和幸福感的社会人口特征的影响。数据来自数百名受访者在大流行之前的日常时间使用情况，以及大流行期间和之后收集的数据，以创建一个自然实验，隔离大流行对行为变化的影响。这项研究的成果包括以证据为基础的建议，以解决该流行病的社会后果。本项目为三波小组研究的第二波和第三波收集数据，第二波是在大流行期间实施居家隔离和封锁命令，第三波是在大流行消退并放松命令之后。这两波数据包括从在线众包平台上收集的2000名受访者的调查回复和24小时时间日记。该样本包括在大流行之前收集数据的较小样本。收集的数据包括社会人口统计、典型的睡眠、工作和锻炼模式，以及家务和护理安排，以调查对时间利用和幸福感的影响。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This project examines the impacts of COVID-19 and states’ and local governments’ social distancing directives on behavior, time spent with others, use of technology, and mental and physical wellbeing. The objective of the project is to investigate these daily life impacts in real time and to analyze how these impacts are affected by sociodemographic characteristics that affect time use and well-being. Data are leveraged from several hundred respondents’ daily time use before the pandemic along with data collected during and after the pandemic to create a natural experiment that isolates the effects of the pandemic on changes in behavior. Among the products of this research are evidence-based recommendations to address the social consequences of the pandemic.This project collects data for the second and third waves of a three-wave panel study, the second wave during the pandemic with shelter-at-home and lockdown orders in place and the third wave after the pandemic has subsided and orders have been relaxed. Data for these two waves consist of survey responses and 24-hour time diaries collected from 2,000 respondents from online crowdsourcing platforms. This sample includes a smaller sample from whom data were collected before the pandemic. Data are collected on sociodemographics, typical sleep, work, and exercise patterns, and arrangements for housework and carework to investigate effects on time use and wellbeing.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
