We studied views of articles about psychology on 10 language editions of Wikipedia from July 1, 2015, to January 6, 2021. We were most interested in what psychology topics Wikipedia users wanted to read, and how the frequency of views changed during the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdowns. Our results show that the topics of interest to people seeking psychological knowledge changed during the pandemic. In addition, the interests differ noticeably among the languages. We made two important observations. The first was that during the pandemic, people in most countries looked for new ways to manage their stress without resorting to external help. This is understandable, given the increased stress of lockdown and the limited amount of professional help available. We also found that academic topics, typically covered in university classes, experienced a substantial drop in traffic, which could be indicative of issues with remote teaching.

我们研究了2015年7月1日至2021年1月6日期间维基百科10种语言版本上关于心理学文章的浏览量。我们最感兴趣的是维基百科用户想要阅读哪些心理学主题,以及在新冠疫情和封锁期间浏览量的频率是如何变化的。我们的研究结果表明,在疫情期间,寻求心理学知识的人感兴趣的主题发生了变化。此外,不同语言之间的兴趣差异明显。我们有两个重要发现。第一个发现是,在疫情期间,大多数国家的人们在不寻求外部帮助的情况下寻找新的方式来应对压力。考虑到封锁带来的压力增加以及可获得的专业帮助有限,这是可以理解的。我们还发现,通常在大学课程中涵盖的学术主题的浏览量大幅下降,这可能表明远程教学存在问题。
