H.Collis PhD Study 1 : COVID Daily Diary Data – Personality and Wellbeing

This dataset contains data collected from April – June 2020 during the first national UK lockdown in response to COVID-19. The data was collected using a ‘daily diary’ format, with participants completing an initial baseline questionnaire, followed by short daily questionnaires for 14 consecutive days. The project was designed around the TESSERA framework of personality development (Wrzus, 2021). The sample consists of 192 participants, with 2,277 observations. Variables include demographics, the Big 5 personality traits, weekly expectancies/goals, personality state expressions, reactions/reflections, affective wellbeing, and stress. Items relating to job security and organisational support were only asked to participants who were employed during the data collection period. Only quantitative data is available.
