“…The aim of the current paper is therefore threefold: Inspired by a paper from our colleagues on the International Congress of Psychology's (ICP) Emerging Psychologists' Programme [1] (EPP; Simon et al ., 2021), we, as emerging psychologists from diverse sociocultural backgrounds, aim to reflect upon (1) past, current and future psychological impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic (“psychological impacts” aim), which may include exacerbation of already existent issues or the creation of new psychological issues, and (2) how the COVID-19 pandemic can either be applied to prepare for and mitigate negative psychological consequences of any future pandemic, or how the pandemic can inform better living in the post-pandemic world (“long-term implications” aim). To meet these two aims, we reflect on our own research experiences to focus on four main psychological populations as case studies: domestic violence victims, remote workers, migrant workers (MWs) and “anti-vaxxers”.…”

PurposeCoronavirus (COVID-19) rapidly became the “new normal” with profound implications for everyone's daily life. In this paper, emerging psychologists from diverse cultural backgrounds discuss four main ways in which COVID-19 impacted diverse psychological populations.Design/methodology/approachThis paper was written as a reflection on how COVID-19 has impacted diverse psychological populations using authors' academic and personal experiences.FindingsFirst, the authors explore inaccessible populations with a focus on domestic violence victims living in rural areas. Second, the authors consider consequences of social isolation with a focus on remote workers. Third, the authors investigate the consequences of public (dis)trust in the pandemic with a focus on migrant worker communities. Finally, the authors discuss pandemic-relevant subcultures with a focus on “anti-vaxxers”.Social implicationsThe paper concludes with a discussion of negative implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on diverse psychological populations, both for the present and the future, and ends with an action plan of possible interventions to overcome these limitations.Originality/valueOverall, the current paper provides a broad overview of how the pandemic has shaped and will continue to shape diverse psychological populations.
