The COVID-19 pandemic shocked the global society and caused significant disruptions on various levels of economic and social activity, apart from the purely humanitarian and health perspective. International community and national goverments introduced a series of restrictions and other measures to minimize the spread of the virus. This paper provides insight from Greece, focusing on activities and time-use, statements towards mental health and overall wellbeing of citizens during the spring lockdown period of 2020. The analysis is based on data from more than 400 individuals collected through an online survey, which included psychometric attitudes and mental health scales, activity participation and time-use, as well as socio-economic variables and reactions to COVID-19 measures and overall situation. We present results and a respondent segmentation, by employing a latent class cluster analysis, which provides useful insight into the mental health, wellbeing of individuals during the restrictions period and information regarding the activities of the various segments of the population before and during the lockdown. Main findings include the identification of three distinct clusters of the respondents, "Relaxed", "Worried" and "Cautious" which demonstrated some heterogeneity time-use allocation and activity patterns and feelings/mental health during the lockdown. This is one of the first papers to present activity and time-use data for the 2020 lockdown period in Greece by developing a segmentation approach of the participants based on mental health scales and indicators. Such exploratory efforts are useful in identifying different population segments that may react to government restrictions in a heterogenous way and may exhibit varying mental health statuses.
除了纯粹的人道主义和健康角度外，新冠疫情震惊了全球社会，并在各个层面的经济和社会活动中造成了重大破坏。国际社会和各国政府采取了一系列限制措施及其他举措，以尽量减少病毒传播。本文提供了来自希腊的见解，重点关注2020年春季封锁期间的活动和时间利用情况、公民对心理健康和整体幸福感的看法。该分析基于通过在线调查收集的400多人的数据，调查内容包括心理测量态度和心理健康量表、活动参与和时间利用情况，以及社会经济变量和对新冠措施及总体形势的反应。我们通过潜在类别聚类分析展示结果并进行受访者细分，这为限制期间个人的心理健康、幸福感以及封锁前后不同人群的活动信息提供了有用的见解。主要发现包括识别出受访者的三个不同类别：“放松型”、“担忧型”和“谨慎型”，它们在封锁期间表现出一些不同的时间利用分配、活动模式以及情绪/心理健康状况。这是首批通过基于心理健康量表和指标对参与者进行细分的方法，呈现2020年希腊封锁期间活动和时间利用数据的论文之一。这种探索性努力有助于识别可能以不同方式对政府限制措施做出反应且可能表现出不同心理健康状况的不同人群细分。
