“…The influence of returning to their families and the fact that the study population live in small cities seem to be essential to understanding the results of the present study, since they contradict other research, which found an increase in anxiety levels among university students in several countries (Akdeniz et al, 2020;Cornine, 2020;Wang et al, 2020;Zhou et al, 2020). In our study, we recorded a reduction in anxiety trait expression.…”

“…In order to reduce virus transmission, social distancing and home confinement were recommended by health authorities and governments (Lakhan et al, 2020;Parlapani et al, 2020;Tang et al, 2020). However, distancing measures, even when added to activation of this behavioral immune system, may have a negative effect on the social life and emotional state of individuals (Ackerman et al, 2020;Akdeniz et al, 2020;Cornine, 2020;Di Renzo et al, 2020;Ingram et al, 2020;Shigemura et al, 2020;Volino-Souza et al, 2020;Wang et al, 2020;Zhou et al, 2020).…”

“…Thus, in addition to the protective recommendations against COVID-19, the fear of contracting the virus, and subsequently dying from it, uncertainty about disease control and vaccine availability, daily routine interruptions, economic loss, and constant exposure to negative news are factors considered highly responsible for the surge in mental health problems, such as anxiety (Akdeniz et al, 2020;Cornine, 2020;Di Renzo et al, 2020;Ingram et al, 2020;Kang et al, 2020;Ozamiz-Etxebarria et al, 2020;Shigemura et al, 2020;Volino-Souza et al, 2020;Wang et al, 2020;Zhou et al, 2020). In university students, anxiety symptoms have also been caused by concern about delays in academic activities and future job prospects (Akdeniz et al, 2020;Cornine, 2020;Zhou et al, 2020).…”

As social animals, humans need to live in groups. This contact with conspecifics is essential for their evolution and survival. Among the recommendations to reduce transmission of the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) responsible for COVID-19 are social distancing and home confinement. These measures may negatively affect the social life and, consequently, the emotional state and eating behavior of individuals. We assessed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the anxiety, premenstrual symptoms, and eating behavior of young women. Data collection was conducted in person (prepandemic—from March to December 2019) and online (during the pandemic—August 2020). A total of 71 participants, average age of 21.26 years (SD = 0.41), took part in the study. Trait anxiety during the pandemic was significantly lower than in the prepandemic period. Investigation of the “anxiety/stress” symptom of the Premenstrual Symptoms Screening Tool (PSST) revealed that this symptom was more severe before the pandemic. There was a decline in the desire for sweet and fatty foods during the pandemic. However, craving for traditional foods rose significantly in the same period. Uncontrolled and emotional eating were significantly lower during the pandemic. The results suggest that the pandemic may have had a positive impact on anxiety and eating behavior of the participants, which may be due to differences between urban and rural populations and the latter living with their families. These findings are important for raising a discussion regarding the effects of the current environment on the regulation of cognitive and dietary adaptations.

“…The anxiety of the respondents might be result in switching to online education, working from home as much as possible in business life, reducing working hours, social distancing, and other social measures taken across the country. Recent research has indicated that the delay in academic activities was related to the emergence of anxiety symptoms with university students in China ( 28 ). Another study has demonstrated that college students’ anxiety about COVID-19 might have been related to the effect of the coronavirus disease on their studies ( 29 ) and future employment ( 6 ).…”

A new coronavirus disease began on 31 December 2019 in Wuhan/China and has caused a global outbreak in only a few months resulting in millions being infected. In conjunction with its’ physical side effects, this outbreak also has a tremendous impact on psychology health. This study aims to assess the spread and frequency of protective behaviors, emotional and anxiety status among the Turkish population using a rapid survey during the COVID-19 outbreak. An online questionnaire was administered to 3,040 respondents between the ages of 18–30. This cross-sectional study was conducted from Apr 2 to Apr 8, 2020. While questions related to the outbreak were created by members of our neuroscience department, the Turkish version of the Abbreviated Beck Anxiety Inventory was included in our survey to measure anxiety status. Pearson correlation coefficient was used for statistical analysis. We found that 90% of respondents report washing hands more frequently since the outbreak while %50 wear protective gloves. Respondents were more fearful of their relatives catching the coronavirus disease than they were of themselves catching it. In response to the question, “What are your emotions about the coronavirus?”, 38% responded with “worried”. There was a significant correlation between anxiety status and consumption information from the media about COVID-19. Individual early protection behaviors might slow transmission of the outbreak. Our results showed that the behavior of the participants has changed in predictable ways during the COVID-19 outbreak. Understanding how emotional responses such as fear and anxiety status vary and the specific factors that mediate it may help with the design of outbreak control strategies.

“…No entanto, o cenário se modificou completamente. Para reduzir a propagação e transmissão do vírus, o distanciamento social, o confinamento em casa e outras medidas, foram recomendados pelas autoridades de saúde e do governo (Lakhan et al, 2020;Parlapani et al, 2020), porém, apesar de protetivas, tais medidas afetaram negativamente a vida social e o estado emocional das pessoas, propiciando um aumento expressivo da ansiedade (Akdeniz et al, 2020;Cornine, 2020;Shigemura et al, 2020;Volino-Souza et al, 2020;Wang et al, 2020;Zhou et al, 2020).…”
