The COVID-19 pandemic has caused major changes in society and people’s daily lives, and many researchers have studied the “impact of the pandemic on people’s mental health and behaviour”. Because of the pandemic, many peoplemental health disorderwhile a third of young people suffer during the movement restrictionsBetter mental health and wellbeingand that during the pandemicMore donations to charitiesresults are clear.
A team of Florida State University researchers conducted by the University of Southern California to examine how the pandemic may have affected more basic personalities.American Understanding Study (UAS)We used data from an online survey. The UAS is a longitudinal online personality test of subjects, and the research team took the test between 2014 and February 2020 before the pandemic, after February 2020 at the start of the pandemic, and in 2021 or 2022. Data was used by over 7000 people. who responded. All subjects lived in the United States, and their ages ranged widely from 18 to 109 years.
the personality testfive major personality traitsIt was a measure of the subject’s personality based on The Big Five personality traits are five scales commonly used to describe human character and psyche: extroversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness.
After analyzing the data, we found no significant difference in personality traits between pre-pandemic and early pandemic 2020. However, when comparing the pre-pandemic and post-pandemic personalities in 2021-2022, they found that extraversion, openness, cooperativeness, and conscientiousness declined significantly after the pandemic.
Originally, people’s extroversion, openness, cooperation and conscientiousness tended to decline, but from 2021 to 2022, the normal downward trend was exceeded, so the trauma of the pandemic caused personality changes. It has been suggested that it could have accelerated a natural process.
The research team also notes that personality changes are particularly significant among young people, with a significant decrease in cooperation and conscientiousness and an increase in neurotic tendencies between 2021 and 2022. This result may be partly due to anxiety about returning to society on after being forced to live a different life for about two years.
During the pandemic, people worked to improve their lifestyle habits such as diet and exercise, and began to value their leisure time, but despite this, their mental health and well-being declined significantly.Research resulthas been reported.

For example, people with high levels of conscientiousness, agreeableness, and opennessExperience the highest level of happinessare more likely to do so,’ which suggests that personality changes may have had a negative impact on people’s mental health and well-being.
Burke notes that traits such as cooperation, openness, extroversion, and conscientiousness all affect interaction with the environment, and the decline in these traits may have contributed to the decline in happiness. He argued that the results of this study, which examined personality changes during pandemics, provide important insights into the effects of pandemics on the psyche.
