The COVIDiSTRESS global survey collects data on early human responses to the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic from 173 429 respondents in 48 countries. The open science study was co-designed by an international consortium of researchers to investigate how psychological responses differ across countries and cultures, and how this has impacted behaviour, coping and trust in government efforts to slow the spread of the virus. Starting in March 2020, COVIDiSTRESS leveraged the convenience of unpaid online recruitment to generate public data. The objective of the present analysis is to understand relationships between psychological responses in the early months of global coronavirus restrictions and help understand how different government measures succeed or fail in changing public behaviour. There were variations between and within countries. Although Western Europeans registered as more concerned over COVID-19, more stressed, and having slightly more trust in the governments' efforts, there was no clear geographical pattern in compliance with behavioural measures. Detailed plots illustrating between-countries differences are provided. Using both traditional and Bayesian analyses, we found that individuals who worried about getting sick worked harder to protect themselves and others. However, concern about the coronavirus itself did not account for all of the variances in experienced stress during the early months of COVID-19 restrictions. More alarmingly, such stress was associated with less compliance. Further, those most concerned over the coronavirus trusted in government measures primarily where policies were strict. While concern over a disease is a source of mental distress, other factors including strictness of protective measures, social support and personal lockdown conditions must also be taken into consideration to fully appreciate the psychological impact of COVID-19 and to understand why some people fail to follow behavioural guidelines intended to protect themselves and others from infection. The Stage 1 manuscript associated with this submission received in-principle acceptance (IPA) on 18 May 2020. Following IPA, the accepted Stage 1 version of the manuscript was preregistered on the Open Science Framework at https://osf.io/g2t3b. This preregistration was performed prior to data analysis.
“COVIDiSTRESS全球调查”收集了来自48个国家173429名受访者对2020年新冠疫情的早期人类反应数据。这项开放科学研究由一个国际研究团队共同设计，旨在调查不同国家和文化背景下的心理反应差异，以及这如何影响行为、应对方式和对政府减缓病毒传播努力的信任。从2020年3月开始，“COVIDiSTRESS”利用无偿在线招募的便利性来收集公共数据。本分析的目的是了解全球新冠病毒限制措施实施最初几个月中心理反应之间的关系，并帮助理解不同的政府措施在改变公众行为方面是如何成功或失败的。国家之间和国家内部都存在差异。尽管西欧人表示对新冠疫情更为担忧、压力更大，并且对政府的努力稍有更多信任，但在遵守行为措施方面并没有明显的地理模式。文中提供了说明国家间差异的详细图表。通过传统分析和贝叶斯分析，我们发现担心生病的人会更加努力地保护自己和他人。然而，对新冠病毒本身的担忧并不能解释在新冠疫情限制措施实施最初几个月中所经历压力的所有差异。更令人担忧的是，这种压力与较低的遵守率相关。此外，那些最担心新冠病毒的人主要在政策严格的地方才信任政府措施。虽然对疾病的担忧是心理困扰的一个来源，但要全面理解新冠疫情的心理影响以及理解为什么有些人不遵守旨在保护自己和他人免受感染的行为准则，还必须考虑其他因素，包括保护措施的严格程度、社会支持和个人封锁状况。与本提交内容相关的第一阶段手稿于2020年5月18日获得原则性接受（IPA）。在获得IPA之后，已接受的第一阶段手稿版本在开放科学框架（https://osf.io/g2t3b）上进行了预注册。此预注册在数据分析之前进行。
