The Psychology of Covid-19

The new Swift mission is as follows: The SAGE Swifts series showcases the best of social science research that has the potential to influence public policy and practice, [as well as public awareness], resulting in positive social change. We strongly believe that the social sciences are uniquely positioned to make this impact and thus benefit society in a myriad of ways. SAGE Swifts celebrate and support the impact of quality empirical work that provides a provocative intervention into current debates, helping society to meet critical challenges going forward. This book meets the series' aims in the following ways: - There is arguably no greater challenge at this point in time than the covid-19 crisis. This book is written in direct response to this pandemic. - Draws on a wide variety of perspectives - psychological, sociological, political, economic and public health. - At the cutting-edge - on the research front it focuses on gathering and evaluating new empirical evidence on the topic and includes a range of international work. - It features suggestions of how we could improve our psychological and social resilience against future pandemics, with COVID-19 as an example. - The book will have an accessible style.
