Adolescents and young adults were identified internationally as a group with potentially low compliance rates public health measures aimed at curbing the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Although non-compliance research during pandemics has typically focused on concurrent correlates, less is known about how prior social psychological risk factors are associated pandemics.

We report significant increase parental feelings (anxiety, depression, hostility interpersonal sensitivity). Longitudinal child measures showed gradual decrease internalizing externalizing behavior, which seemed decelerated by lockdown.

A crucial question in the governance of infectious disease outbreaks is how to ensure that people continue adhere mitigation measures for longer duration. The present paper examines this by means a set cross-sectional studies conducted United States during COVID-19 pandemic, May, June, and July 2020. Using stratified samples mimic demographic characteristics U.S. population, it seeks understand what extent Americans continued social distancing period after first lockdown ended. Moreover, uncover which variables sustained (or undermined) adherence across period. For purpose, we examined broad range factors, relating people's (1) knowledge understanding measures, (2) perceptions their costs benefits, (3) legitimacy procedural justice, (4) personal (5) environment, (6) practical circumstances. Our findings reveal was chiefly shaped three major factors: respondents adhered more when they (a) had greater capacity adhere, (b) morally agreed with (c) perceived virus as severe health threat. Adherence lesser impulsivity, opportunities violating, costs, descriptive norms. results also reveal, however, declined period, partly explained changes moral alignment, threat perceptions, knowledge, These show originates from factors develop dynamically time. Practically these insights help improve pandemic governance, well contributing theoretically study compliance way rules come shape behavior.

We investigated changes in regions (medial prefrontal cortex: mPFC; temporoparietal junction: TPJ) as well stress-related hippocampus amygdala, using longitudinal design 2 MRI waves. selected two age-matched subgroups (9–13 years old), one tested before (n = 114) other during (peri-pandemic group, n 204) pandemic. Results indicated that peri -pandemic group showed accelerated mPFC compared to before- group. Furthermore, TPJ growth immediate followed possibly subsequent recovery returned typical developmental pattern.
