Dear Berliners,
welcome to the CovSocial project! Us Berlin research institutions want to find out how the Berlin population feels during the corona crisis.
Therefore, during the first phase of our study, we regularly ask our participants about their experiences.
In doing so, the following questions are in the center of our assessment:
In what ways has the everyday life of the Berlin people changed?
How were the Berlin people feeling at different time points within the corona crisis?
What caused the Berlin people stress, what supported them?
We are interested in finding out, whether mood and behavior of the Berlin population have changed relating to the crisis and how challenges of this magnitude can be better managed in the future.
In a second phase of our study, we plan to conduct a mental intervention training via smartphone with some of our participants and to scientifically test its effects.
Naturally, the public will be informed about the results once our study is completed.
Thank you for your interest!
