“…In this study, the authors have expanded the measurement of social capital, incorporating the dimension of family cohesion to the traditional bonding, bridging, and linking types. Likewise, the scope of the binding type has been extended to relationships with instances of power within the same community, in order to respond to the predominant type of social capital existing in informal settings-as opposed to the classical interpretation of the linking type, where the relationships are explicit and formal, and usually limited to authorities or institutionalized levels of power in society (Sarmiento et al 2020, Sarmiento et al 2022.…”

This study assesses the actual magnitude and scope of the impacts of the COVID-19 mitigation measures at the individual level, with special interest in subjective well-being (SWB), its relevance and how these negative effects are making it difficult to comply with the physical distancing policies. This is a comparative prospective cohort study conducted in six Latin American cities (Bogotá, Buenos Aires, Guayaquil, Lima, Santo Domingo, and Santiago de Chile). A multivariate linear regression model was used to assess the impact of variables related to COVID-19 on SWB, using the life satisfaction variable. The linear regression model controlled for personality dimensions, demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, and city fixed effects. We found the greatest reduction in wellbeing associated with loss of work or income, with variations in personality type, and socioeconomic factors such as type of employment and marital status. Factors associated with social capital provide a significant level of SWB protection.

The pandemic caused an excess burden and even paralyzed the health-care systems in many highly developed countries worldwide.…”

Purpose While the COVID-19 pandemic wreaked havoc across the globe in 2020 and early 2021, Vietnam made some achievements in containing this virus. This study aims to focus on how government response could influence public compliance in Vietnam in 2020 (the first pandemic year). Design/methodology/approach The authors used data gathered from individuals residing in Vietnam during the COVID-19 social distancing in April 2020. An online survey was used to collect the data. To conduct the empirical analysis, we used a structural equation model (SEM). The data were analyzed using SPSS 25 and AMOS 24. Findings Government response was positively associated with public compliance through the mediating roles of trust in government and support for government. Practical implications This research provides implications for crisis management in developing countries during a public health crisis, especially when or where vaccines are unavailable. Originality/value This research is among the first attempts that examine how government response enhances citizen compliance directly and indirectly through the mediating roles of citizen trust in government and citizen support for government.

This chapter analyzes the relationships between life satisfaction and three dimensions of integration: social ties, participation in the labor market, and political participation among the European youth during the COVID-19 pandemic. Although it is commonly presumed that a higher level of social integration corresponds to a greater level of life satisfaction it is important to explore whether certain forms of integration may be associated with greater dissatisfaction and frustration. For instance, under certain circumstances, dissatisfaction might motivate greater political participation and involvement in various social networks. In other words, it is of interest to ascertain whether dissatisfaction might, in fact, foster a greater propensity to connect with others and engage in collective actions.We address this problem by using multilevel data. The individual-level data come from the tenth cycle of the European Social Survey (ESS10-2018), conducted across 31 countries during the years 2020–2022. Since our study focuses on youth, a sub-population comprising individuals aged 15–35 years was extracted. In order to control for the contextual-level data, we employed two standard indicators, GINI and GDP per capita. The results show that the various forms of integration—closer social ties, being a member of an ethnic majority, labor market integration, and some forms of political participation (voting)—are associated with greater life satisfaction.
