The Pandemic Project Covid Survey

The Pandemic Project is a social psychology initiative that is studying how our everyday lives are affected by the coronavirus outbreak. For many of us, our worlds, our work, and our social relationships are changing. The research team brings together scientists from around the world to better understand how the pandemic is affecting our daily lives, mental health, and connections with others. 

This project is being conducted by researchers at the University of Texas at Austin in collaboration with scientists at other universities around the world. The Lead Investigators are Jamie Pennebaker, Ashwini Ashokkumar, The University of Texas at Austin,  and Laura Vergani, The University of Milan. The survey is part of a larger project that has been reviewed by The University of Texas at Austin Institutional Review Board. For more information on the project and investigators, visit their website  (http://utpsyc.org/covid19/index.html) or covidsurvey [dot] utexas [at] gmail [dot] com (email ). They would appreciate any feedback you might have.

They need your help. Take the Covid Survey, which is an online questionnaire that takes about 15 minutes to complete. A series of questions are included that ask about the ways people are thinking about and responding to the current coronavirus outbreak. Individuals who complete the survey will get specific feedback about their coping strategies along with information that might help them deal with the current uncertainties, as well as learn how their reactions to the outbreak compare with others.You will get personal feedback about your coping methods with information about what may work best for you. Although optional, they are also asking participants to provide an email address so that they can contact them sometime later to see how their thoughts and behaviors may be changing. Except for the optional email, no other identifying information is collected.
