Thomas J. Bollyky et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the global rates of COVID-19 infection and fatality. The results suggest that the variation in infection and fatality rates cannot be fully explained. Trust in government and interpersonal trust, as well as less corruption, are associated with lower infection rates and higher vaccination coverage.

Age differences in the association between loneliness and anxiety symptoms during the COVID-19 pandemic

Andre J. McDonald et al.

Summary: Loneliness and associated mental health problems are a major concern during the COVID-19 pandemic due to physical distancing and lockdown restrictions. This study aimed to examine whether the association between loneliness and anxiety differed by age and/or gender. The results showed that age significantly moderated the association, while gender did not. Loneliness was associated with anxiety symptoms for all age groups, but the association was weaker among those aged 70+ years.

Loneliness and Depression among Community Older Adults during the COVID-19 Pandemic: A cross-sectional study

Lana Alhalaseh et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 lockdown has had a significant impact on the mental health of community-dwelling older adults in Jordan, particularly those with multimorbidity, baseline functional dependence, and a previous history of depression and cognitive impairment. Loneliness is significantly associated with being unmarried, never having worked, and functional dependence. Therefore, it is important to target these high-risk groups in order to minimize loneliness, depression, and subsequent increased morbidity.

COVID-19 Peritraumatic Distress and Loneliness in Chinese Residents in North America: The Role of Contraction Worry

Andrea D. Y. Lee et al.

Summary: This study examined the association between COVID-19 contraction worry for self and for family members with COVID-19 peritraumatic distress and loneliness in Chinese residents in North America. The results showed that self-contraction worry was significantly associated with both COVID-19 peritraumatic distress and loneliness, while family-contraction worry was not significantly associated with the outcome variables. Poorer health status and experienced discrimination predicted higher COVID-19 peritraumatic distress, and poorer health status and perceived discrimination predicted increased loneliness.

Trust: A Double-Edged Sword in Combating the COVID-19 Pandemic?

Jon Reiersen et al.

Summary: Trust plays a crucial role in combating the SARS-CoV-2 virus. However, its impact is complex. Higher levels of trust can lead to greater acceptance of public measures, but it may also reduce risk perception. Empirical analysis shows that trust in government and trust in science are negatively correlated with COVID-19 deaths, while social trust is positively correlated.

'You can't be careful enough': Measuring interpersonal trust during a pandemic

Dag Wollebaek et al.

Summary: Empirical results on the role of interpersonal trust in the pandemic setting have been inconsistent, partly due to weaknesses in standard trust measurement. The standard question may lead to exaggerated negative trends in trust levels post-pandemic outbreak and misrepresentation of the relationship between trust and compliance. Alternative methods without reference to caution showed a small increase in trust and a neutral or weakly positive correlation with social distancing.

A longitudinal analysis of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of middle-aged and older adults from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging

Parminder Raina et al.

Summary: The study found that adults had twice the odds of depressive symptoms during the pandemic compared with the prepandemic period, with subgroups characterized by lower socioeconomic status and poor health-related factors experiencing a greater impact. Over 43% of adults showed a pattern of moderate or clinically high levels of depressive symptoms at baseline that increased over time. Loneliness and COVID-19 stressors were predictors of worsening depressive symptom trajectories. The disparities and patterns in the depressive symptom trajectories suggest that the negative mental health impacts of the pandemic persist and may worsen over time.
