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

新冠肺炎大流行不仅对人们的身体健康构成重大威胁，也对人们的心理健康构成重大威胁。为了控制大流行，世界各国政府都制定了限制人们日常活动和限制与他人社会接触的政策。重要的是，个体在应对这些社会挑战的方式上是不同的。应对冠状病毒（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（解开调解情境选择、人际感知和情绪协同调节过程）大流行期间个体幸福感的差异。这些目标将通过对现有数据的综合大型分析和大规模的国际智能手机评估来实现（包括日常感受和想法的经验抽样，日常社会行为和环境的移动感知，以及个性化反馈）。CoCo团队整合了人格、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。该项目将产生经验、理论和实践重要性的见解。具体来说，研究结果提供了对不同的人如何应对流行病的丰富描述，以及对解释这些差异的人与环境之间关系的新颖见解。这将是朝着大规模提供个性化工具，以在大流行之后培养个人、群体和社会的心理弹性迈出的迫切需要的一步。

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.
