We aim close this research gap.We investigated in longitudinal data spanning first four semesters undergraduate students two cohorts at one German university starting 2013 2019 (cohort 1: normal study conditions; cohort 2: affected by closure). used propensity score modelling ensure comparability between both resulting a sample 435 each (total n = 870 students).We estimated conditional latent growth curve models (LGCM) investigate trends need satisfaction motivation across how differed cohorts.The results indicated more maladaptive variables 2 compared 1. More specifically, we found following competence, relatedness motivation.Our findings highlight importance considering side effects functioning when discussing or renewal closures.

These changes may have favoured speed at cost accuracy methodological rigour. this study, we compare 100 articles published in four major psychological between 2020 2022 with non-COVID from same journal pre-COVID 2017 2019. Articles were coded regard design features, sampling recruitment openness transparency practices. Even though COVID research was, by large, more ‘observational’ nature less experimentally controlled than non- or research, found that studies likely use ‘stronger’ (i.e. longitudinal fewer cross-sectional) designs, larger samples, justify sample sizes based on priori power analysis, pre-register hypotheses analysis plans make data, materials code openly available.

Опубликована: Сен. 15, 2022

Using a longitudinal design, we investigate how the adherence to handwashing and its underlying socio-psychological predictors evolved over time during COVID-19 pandemic under distinct circumstances (e.g. when crisis was more acute or chronic). We collected data (N = 753) in Belgium France at onset of peak (April 2020), almost year later (February 2021), outbreak manageable. Regression models suggest that compliance with pattern remained remarkably stable despite variations contextual factors such as severity health stringency measures. As such, findings also highlight robustness predict it, namely Theory Planned Behavior. The intentions perform behavior, perceived control being part (para)medical field were among strongest predictors. In practice, stability suggests set action levers can be used communication campaigns aimed fostering throughout pandemic.
