The societal hallmark of the Covid-19 pandemic was a set of mitigation measures such as lockdowns and curfews. The cognitive impact on the public of the resulting spatial, social and temporal constraints is still being investigated. While pandemic time has been extensively studied and mostly described as slowed down and elongated, opposite experimental patterns across national and social contexts leave open an important explanatory gap in order to understand which factor has been causally fundamental in determining the phenomenology of the crisis. In this paper, we use a quantitative questionnaire developed for measuring temporal and social disorientation on a sample of 3306 respondents during an acute phase of restrictions in France. We show that social disorientation greatly contributed to the temporal disruptions experienced during the pandemic. This result reinforces the importance for public authorities to address the compounding effect of feeling isolated during crises.
Covid-19 大流行的社会标志是一系列缓解措施，如封锁和宵禁。由此导致的空间、社会和时间限制对公众的认知影响仍在调查中。虽然大流行时间已经被广泛研究，并且大多被描述为减缓且延长，但在不同国家和社会背景下的相反实验模式留下了一个重要的解释空白，以便了解哪个因素在决定危机的现象学方面是因果关系的关键。在本文中，我们使用了一种为测量在法国限制期间的一个 3306 名受访者样本的时间和社会定向障碍而开发的定量问卷。我们表明，社会定向障碍极大地促成了大流行期间经历的时间中断。这一结果强调了公共当局解决危机期间孤立感的复合效应的重要性。
