Lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic have led to increased risk of loneliness, but nostalgia can counteract loneliness by increasing happiness. Nostalgia is a psychological resource that can be harnessed to raise happiness and combat feelings of loneliness.
Lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic increased the risk for loneliness. We tested whether nostalgia counteracts loneliness via rises in happiness. We conducted surveys in China (N = 1,546), the United States (N = 1,572), and the United Kingdom (N = 603). Although feeling lonely was associated with unhappiness, it was also associated with nostalgia, which in turn conduced to increased happiness. We complemented these findings with three experiments testing MTurk workers (Study 4, N = 209; Study 5, N = 196; Study 6, N = 190), where we manipulated nostalgia and assessed happiness. Nostalgia increased happiness immediately after the manipulation (Studies 4-6) and, following an induction booster, up to 2 days later (Studies 4-5). Nostalgia is a psychological resource that can be harnessed to raise happiness and help combat loneliness.
