This timely interdisciplinary book brings together a wide spectrum of
theoretical concepts and their empirical applications in relation to
the COVID-19 pandemic, informing our understanding of the social and
psychological bases of a global crisis.
Written by an author team
of psychologists and sociologists, the volume provides comprehensive
coverage of phenomena such as fear, risk, judgement and decision making,
threat and uncertainty, group identity and cohesion, social and
institutional trust, and communication in the context of an
international health emergency.The topics have been grouped into four
main chapters, focusing on the individual, group, social, and
communication perspectives of the issues affecting or being affected by
the pandemic, based on over 740 classic and current references of
peer-reviewed research and contextualized with an epidemiological
perspective discussed in the introduction. The volume finishes with two
special sections, with a chapter on cultural specificity of the social
impact of pandemics, focusing specifically on both Islam and Hinduism,
and a chapter on the cross-national differences in policy responses to
the current health crisis.
Providing not just a reference for
academic research, but also short-term and long-term policy solutions
based on successful strategies to combat adverse social, cognitive, and
emotional consequences, this is the ideal resource for academics and
policymakers interested in social and psychological determinants of
individual reactions to pandemics, as well as in fields such as
economics, management, politics, and medical care.
