This paper explores the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health and wellbeing of graduate students at universities and research institutions around the world. In so doing, it assesses the intra-individual effects of pandemic-related restrictions on a key cohort in academia: doctoral candidates. We trace this cohort’s ability to adapt to the pandemic over a two-year period by investigating their quality of mental health, indicators of mental health disorders, and indicators of wellbeing and resilience. A consensual qualitative research methodology was adopted when analyzing data gathered during April 2020 and February 2022. The study uses Ecological Systems Theory as a framework, providing insights into how the COVID-19 pandemic affected the wellbeing and mental health of graduate students in myriad ways. The researchers found that while the pandemic negatively affected cognitive processes, a significant proportion of doctoral candidates exhibited remarkable levels of resistance and reconfiguration resilience and short-term improvements in mental health during the period under investigation.

Despite a steep rise in income inequality over the past five decades, Americans’ preferences for redistribution have remained stagnant. Previous research suggests that redistributive preferences are rooted in stable institutional and cultural contexts but can change with exposure to information. We investigate the role of understandings of the link between income and psychological well-being in shaping policy preferences. Further, we consider whether effects differ if similar information is framed in terms of disadvantages for the poor versus advantages for the affluent. In a large, preregistered online experiment (N = 2,751), we examined the effects of three common themes in scholarship on happiness and well-being: Money Prevents Unhappiness, Money Provides Happiness, and Money Doesn’t Matter. Results show that learning that Money Prevents Unhappiness (versus the other two themes) increased egalitarian preferences. Effects were moderated by political ideology, income, and subjective social class but not by race. We discuss the implications of these findings in light of the current cultural discourse about happiness, which often privileges non-income causes and positive emotions.
