Coping with Corona (CoCo)

Coping with Corona (CoCo): Understanding individual differences in well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic not only poses major threats to people’s physical health but also to their well-being. To manage the pandemic, governments around the world have mandated policies that restrict people’s activities and limit social contact with others. Importantly, individuals differ in how they cope with these social challenges psychologically. The Coping with Corona (CoCo) Project aims to predict (build up theoretically derived and data-driven prediction models) and understand (unpack mediating situation selection, interpersonal perception, and emotional co-regulation processes) individual differences in well-being during the pandemic. These goals will be pursued by a comprehensive mega-analysis of existing data and large-scale international smartphone-based assessments (including experience sampling of everyday feelings and thoughts, mobile sensing of everyday social behaviors and contexts, and personalized feedback). The CoCo team integrates interdisciplinary expertise of leading researchers in the fields of personality, relationship, developmental, network, and behavioral data science. This project will generate insights of empirical, theoretical and practical importance. Specifically, results provide a rich description of how different people cope with pandemics, and novel insights on person-environment transactions that explain these differences. This will constitute a sorely needed step towards the large-scale availability of personalized tools to foster psychological resilience in individuals, groups, and societies in the wake of pandemics.

应对新冠疫情（CoCo）项目：探究COVID-19疫情期间个体福祉差异
新冠疫情不仅对人们的身心健康构成重大威胁，亦对其福祉产生深远影响。为应对疫情，世界各国政府均颁布了限制民众活动、减少与他人社交接触的政策。值得注意的是，个体在应对这些心理层面的社会挑战方面存在差异。应对新冠疫情（CoCo）项目旨在预测（构建基于理论推导与数据驱动的预测模型）并理解（剖析情境选择、人际感知与情感共调节过程）疫情期间个体福祉的差异。该项目将通过综合性的大规模数据分析以及基于国际智能手机的大型评估（包括日常感受与思考的经验抽样、日常社会行为与情境的移动感知，以及个性化反馈）来实现上述目标。CoCo团队汇聚了来自个性、关系、发展、网络和行为数据科学等领域的顶尖研究者的跨学科专业知识。该项目将产生具有实证、理论与实践重要性的洞见。具体而言，研究结果将丰富地描述不同个体如何应对疫情，并对解释这些差异的人与环境交易提供新颖的见解。这将构成迈向大规模提供个性化工具以促进个体、群体及社会在疫情之后心理韧性的迫切需求的重要一步。
