“…That was probably due to the greater exposure to Covid-19 related information online, although mindfulness skills buffered this adverse effect ( 49 ). A lack of cognitive control over the time spent on social media platforms likely exacerbated psychopathological symptoms and augmented a sense of isolation from social reality, fueling an obsessive cycle of social media usage patterns ( 59 ). Conversely, anxious participants reported using social media more often as a strategy to adapt to the current emergency and – to a lower extent – as a way to keep in touch with family and friends ( 60 ).…”

“…Conclusions: Negative lifestyles of smoking and drinking, and being a woman, may be important risk factors for depressive symptoms, whereas exercise and having someone to consult about worries may be protective factors. Hudimova et al (59) The study proves that young people spend almost all day online due to the obsessive pattern of social media involvement and/or procrastination, which often provokes withdrawal syndrome upon the attempt to distract from them. The lack of controlled time spending on social media during self-isolation provokes an exacerbation of anxiety, apathy, depressed mood, and a sense of isolation from social reality.…”

The Covid-19 physical distancing measures had a detrimental effect on adolescents' mental health. Adolescents worldwide alleviated the negative experiences of social distancing by spending more time on digital devices. Through a systematic literature search in eight academic databases (including Eric, Proquest Sociology, Communication & Mass Media Complete, Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Pubmed, and Web of Science), the present systematic review and meta-analysis first summarized the existing evidence from 30 studies, published up to September 2021, on the link between mental health and digital media use in adolescents during Covid-19. Digital media use measures included social media, screen time, and digital media addiction. Mental health measures were grouped into conceptually similar dimensions, such as well-being, ill-being, social well-being, lifestyle habits, and Covid-19-related stress. Results showed that, although most studies reported a positive association between ill-being and social media use (r = 0.171, p = 0.011) and ill-being and media addiction (r = 0.434, p = 0.024), not all types of digital media use had adverse consequences on adolescents' mental health. In particular, one-to-one communication, self-disclosure in the context of mutual online friendship, as well as positive and funny online experiences mitigated feelings of loneliness and stress. Hence, these positive aspects of online activities should be promoted. At the same time, awareness of the detrimental effects of addictive digital media use should be raised: That would include making adolescents more aware of adverse mechanisms such as social comparison, fear of missing out, and exposure to negative contents, which were more likely to happen during social isolation and confinement due to the pandemic.

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.

“…It is worth noting that the situation with COVID-19 significantly changes the studied social reality (Khmiliar et al, 2020;Hudimova et al, 2021). At one time, the problem of mental states was the subject of research in the context of the transformation of stable properties into dominant mental states of personality (Izard, 2007;Prokhorov et al, 2015).…”

“…The progression of the COVID-19 pandemic has created many problems for humanity and at the same time opened up new opportunities, forced to slow down the pace of life and rethink values (Khmiliar et al, 2020;Molchanova et al, 2020). Some modern studies have found that the lack of controlled spending of time by children in social networks during self-isolation exacerbates anxiety, apathy, encourages a sense of isolation from social reality (Hudimova et al, 2021).…”

The aim of the article is to study the mental states factors of primary school pupils’ anxiety during the progression of the COVID-19 pandemic. The psychological factors of school anxiety and fears are theoretically substantiated. The methodological starting points of the empirical study are distinguished. The combination of psychological and physiological semantic parameters of the phenomenon is taken into account. Valid psychodiagnostic methods were used. The structure of mental states of pupils’ anxiety, which consisted of five main factors F1-F5 (∑D = 76.371; V = 20.005), was studied by factor analysis of ANOVA. It is established that the principal is the mental state F1 “School anxiety” (D = 38.029; V = 9.962), which is interrelated with the mental state F4 “Self-realization anxiety” (D = 9.711; V = 2.544) (rs=-.443; p≤.01) and the mental state F2 “Emotional-expressive anxiety” (D=16.057; V=4.206) (rs=.373; p≤.01). It was established and grounded that the mental state F5 “Isolation-physiological anxiety” (D=4.529; V=1.186) is suicidal. It is generalized that the obtained empirical results and theoretical substantiations will promote: realization of the decision of educational problems in primary school age; implementation of the obtained results in preventive and corrective-developmental work; will reduce anxiety and affect the formation of adequate behavior of fourth-graders of secondary education.
