Description

Nida Denson and co-authors survey how Australians held up in mind and spirit through the first year of COVID-19. Lockdowns in Victoria ran longer than anywhere else on Earth at the time. Beyond case counts, the survey asks which inner traits guarded or ground down well-being.

Nearly fourteen hundred adults answered in late 2020. On average they reported fair anxiety, stress, and loneliness levels. Trust in other people stood out as a shield: high-trust respondents felt less depression, anxiety, stress, and loneliness, and bounced back better. Trouble tolerating uncertainty and feeling life is run by outside forces cut the other way on every scale. The results tell support programs to build trust and a sense of personal control, not just hand out facts.
