“…The methodology proposed in this paper allows determining the propensity of consumers to imitate the actions of others amid a pandemic [52].

With the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and the increasing importance of e-commerce, the study of online consumer behavior is of particular relevance. The purpose of this study was to form a methodological approach to assess the relationships and the level of influence of the factors activating the purchasing behavior of online consumers against the background of the COVID-19 pandemic. The research methodology was based on the transformation of Cattell’s questionnaire and the implementation of correlation analysis. To determine the predisposition of online consumer behavior at the time of making a purchase decision, this study used the questionnaire method. The survey was conducted among online shoppers in the top 10 countries in terms of e-commerce market growth. The scientific contribution is the proposed methodological toolkit to assess the purchasing behavior of online consumers, which identifies the most influential factors in their purchasing behavior and provides an opportunity to assess the dynamics of their activity during the study period, to identify key trends and determine changes in their behavior. The research revealed what changes in online consumer buying behavior are typical in the COVID-19 pandemic. The impact of consumer awareness and experience has increased. Online consumers have become more experienced, which has influenced the activity of their buying behavior. This study proved the shifting influence of online consumer purchasing behavior factors during the pandemic. The increasing importance of the speed of decision making by consumers when purchasing goods and services online was determined.

“…People's behaviour is influenced by human values and social norms, what they perceive that others are doing or what they think that others approve or disapprove of. 8 These perceptions may be incorrect which leads to the misconceptions and superstitions in the human minds.…”

The novel coronavirus disease or COVID-19 emerged at the end of December 2019. It has caused immense effect on the economy, human society, health system, human psychology, daily life and livelihood of human beings around the world. In India this deadly virus first attacked in Mumbai and turned to be a pandemic after rapid transmission throughout the country. During this pandemic thousands of people died due to the infection of the virus. The citizens of India became witness of an unnatural and heart throbbing situation which they had never seen before. In this adverse situation human values like faith, love, respect, affection, self-confidence, responsibility started to deteriorate and reached to the bottom line. Human behaviour is influenced by these human values. Naturally people's behaviour started to deteriorate towards others in this pandemic situation. They began to show disrespect to others, hatred and negligence to a corona patient, selfish and self-centered attitude to protect themselves only. In my opinion, most of us were compelled to show these type of negative behaviours at the beginning of this pandemic, because there was no vaccine and no treatment during those days. But today we have already spent almost one and half year in this abnormal situation and started to believe that COVID-19 does not mean death only, rather the probability of recovery from this disease is high if we follow some good habits and practices like hand-washing, wearing face mask, maintaining social distance, maintaining cleanliness etc. Now-a-days almost everyone of us is following these good practices and precautionary measures, because we have come to know that these practices will protect us from the coronavirus. Today we are all optimistic and confident that a day will definitely come when our beloved earth will be out of the adverse effect from this invisible enemy.

“…The childhood habit of forcefully remaining indoors has paved way for distorted mental well-being during these tough times. The absence of school environment can affect the social and emotional learning which can lead to decreased cognition, empathy, participation in team and cooperation among peers [32].…”

Educational reforms occur from time to time to keep up the pace of changing trends. The new generations of kids are exposed to modern technology at a very younger age. They are well equipped with the novel usage of digital technology to aid in a better teaching-learning process. Pandemic has invoked a lot of drastic changes in many sectors owing to changing norms and lockdown policies across the globe. In India also these lockdown policies were imposed as a measure to curtail the growing rate of infection. India is a country with a dense population with varied socio-cultural and economic differences. Closure of educational institutes adopted as a strategic measure to face the Pandemic lead to uncertainty among the stakeholders which had a huge impact on the psychosocial domain. The education sector took to the mode of digital learning by offering online classes to cater to the need of the students. Shutting down schools and educational institutes not only paralyzed the social contact a child develops on attending school but also increased the severity of screen time with absolute lack of physical activity among children. This chapter aims to explore the impact of the online mode of education and its psychosocial perspectives during the lockdown.
