Epsilon COVID-19: a study to test the psychological effects of COVID-19 self-isolation
The Applied Experimental Psychology Laboratory, the Cognitive Ergonomics Laboratory and the Sleep Psychophysiology Laboratory of the Department of Psychology have developed a study which aims to monitor the psychological effects of COVID-19 self-isolation.
The research, led by Anna Maria Giannini, Fabio Ferlazzo and Luigi De Gennaro, will be tested through a questionnaire focused on the cognitive (i.e. Decision making), emotional (i.e. Mood) and psychophysiological aspects (i.e. Sleep quality) of the individual. Each week the researchers will collect the necessary data by asking the participants to answer several questions and to perform specific tasks. The participants can complete the questionnaires on their smartphones, tablets or laptops.
