Information

In this online study, we are interested in how you deal with negative and positive emotions and how you think about negative experiences and problems in everyday life. We furthermore focus on how you feel about social interactions. Additionally, the survey deals with the special circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic, in particular with possible effects on experienced loneliness.

This online study is conducted at the University of Vienna as part of a seminar and master's theses (responsible person/supervision: Dr. Dorothea König-Teshnizi). The survey only serves teaching and scientific purposes in order to gain more knowledge regarding the study topic.

Which study participants we are looking for: Individuals 18 years and older, whose English skills are very good (at least B1 = independet or advanced language/reading skills; for information see external link).
