Project Description
The COVID-19 pandemic, which began in January 2020, has led Singapore to implement various social distancing measures and a partial lockdown (‘Circuit Breaker’). I joined the international project: The ‘COVID-19: Technology, Social Connections, Loneliness & Leisure Activities: An International Study’ led by Dr. Hannah R. Marston from the Open University, UK. This research study includes partners from: Spain, Germany, Austria, Romania, Turkey, Portugal, Malta, Brazil, and India to understand the use of digital technologies and the impact during COVID-19 between 2020 and 2021.
The internet survey on Singaporeans was conducted between May 2020 and August 2020 to explore how Singaporeans described their wellbeing, expressed feelings of loneliness, and the extent they used digital technologies for work or social activities. Moreover, the data collected will help us understand the relationship between mental wellbeing and the use of digital technologies among individuals of varying sociodemographic backgrounds and family structures for policy implications (e.g., resilience through digital technologies).
