Self-reported impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, affective responding, and subjective well-being: A Swedish survey.

A rapid stream of research confirms that the COVID-19 pandemic is a global threat to mental health and psychological well-being. It is therefore important to identify both hazardous and protective individual factors during the pandemic. The current research explored the relationships between self-re...
