Wellbeing: Decision making and behavior during COVID-19
We explored the wellbeing (WB) of individuals and the way in which it interacted with their decision making during the COVID-19 pandemic. We used a questionnaire that includes open- and closed-ended questions to assess individuals’ WB and their views and intentions regarding development and rerouting their life. For the estimation, we devised a structural equation model in which covariates of feature variables – WB-trait (rather stable and personality-oriented) and WB-state (fluctuates over time and situation-oriented) – are interacted with measures of the individuals’ decision making and behavior, while controlling for their demographics. Results show correlations between personal characteristics, and in particular WB, both as a trait and a state, and fresh start decisions during landmark periods. Furthermore, the results reveal that people's WB-trait is much more important than WB-state. People with strong WB-trait are capable of overcoming landmark adverse periods and advancing their capabilities. In addition, personal characteristics, such as education and age, are also positively correlated with WB-trait, while being a parent and being a woman are both associated with lower WB-trait scores. The study demonstrates the importance of WB in times of crisis and calls for decision makers to take action to improve peoples' WB.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Economics (formerly the Journal of Socio-Economics) welcomes submissions that deal with various economic topics but also involve issues that are related to other social sciences, especially psychology, or use experimental methods of inquiry. Thus, contributions in behavioral economics, experimental economics, economic psychology, and judgment and decision making are especially welcome. The journal is open to different research methodologies, as long as they are relevant to the topic and employed rigorously. Possible methodologies include, for example, experiments, surveys, empirical work, theoretical models, meta-analyses, case studies, and simulation-based analyses. Literature reviews that integrate findings from many studies are also welcome, but they should synthesize the literature in a useful manner and provide substantial contribution beyond what the reader could get by simply reading the abstracts of the cited papers. In empirical work, it is important that the results are not only statistically significant but also economically significant. A high contribution-to-length ratio is expected from published articles and therefore papers should not be unnecessarily long, and short articles are welcome. Articles should be written in a manner that is intelligible to our generalist readership. Book reviews are generally solicited but occasionally unsolicited reviews will also be published. Contact the Book Review Editor for related inquiries.
