SERVICE: Social and Emotional Resilience for the Vulnerable Impacted by the COVID-19 Emergency

COVID-19造成的社交距离可能会产生前所未有的心理影响。该提案回应了这一需求，将我们对社会技术复原力的研究应用于：-调查老年人及其支持网络的大流行病的生活经历。通过开发一个自适应数字平台，支持这些网络在满足持续情感需求方面的弹性，该平台能够在安全和尊重隐私的环境中记录，分享和分析幸福感。我们还将制作关键数据和资源：-关于COVID-19和社交距离的社会影响的多方法公共数据集，社交孤立的生活体验，以及社会支持结构，数字参与和幸福感之间的关系。-针对个人心理需求的软件自适应方法。我们的工作将解决这些研究问题：1。与社会保持距离的老年人及其数字记录、分享和分析心理状态的支持网络有哪些好处和缺点？2.数字平台如何支持以前面对面的社会支持动态（请求，提供和接受）？3.对于社交距离较远的老年人来说，社交行为、孤独感和情绪调节之间的实时关系是什么？4.我们如何预测趋势并触发系统适应性，以鼓励人际交往，从而减少孤立的负面影响？该项目旨在通过数字化促进支持者/护理者的互动，并收集关键数据以协助个性化干预措施，从而帮助理解和应对COVID-19大流行及其因社会隔离造成的影响。

The social distancing imposed by COVID-19 is likely to effect unprecedented psychological impacts. This proposal responds to this need, applying our research on socio-technical resilience to:- Investigate the lived experience of the pandemic on older adults and their support networks.- Support the resilience of these networks in meeting ongoing emotional needs through the development of an adaptive digital platform which enables the recording, sharing, and analysing of wellbeing within a secure and privacy-respecting environment.We will also produce critical data and resources:- Multimethod public datasets on the social implications of COVID-19 and social distancing, the lived experience of social isolation, and the relationships between social support structures, digital engagement, and wellbeing over time.- Methods for software adaptivity in response to an individual's psychological requirements.Our work will address these research questions:1. What are the benefits and shortcomings to socially distanced older people and their support networks of digitally recording, sharing and analysing psychological states?2. How can a digital platform support the social support dynamics (requesting, offering and accepting) that were previously face-to-face?3. What are the real-time relationships between social behaviours, loneliness, and emotion regulation for socially distanced older people?4. How can we predict trends and trigger system adaptivity to encourage interpersonal engagement and thereby reduce the negative impacts of isolation?This project seeks to contribute to understanding of and response to the COVID-19 pandemic and its impacts due to social isolation, by digitally facilitating support/carer interactions and gathering critical data to assist personalized interventions.
