Is COVID-19 causing distress and loneliness?
Fewed by - Wafa Masood Khan
From a study of 1310 Spanish people with ages between 18-88 years, Baltar et al. (2020) find that being female, younger, having negative self-perceptions about aging, and more time exposed to news leads to high distress and loneliness during COVID-19. However, they also find that older adults with positive self-perceptions of aging seem to be more resilient during the outbreak.
