COVID-19 and the Community - Learning more about people’s behaviours during the pandemic Free online webinar, presented by Brock University Professors Drs. Tim O’Connell, Rebecca Raby & Tony Volk, and PhD students Laurel Donison & Alison O’Connor. Are certain people lying about their COVID-19 symptoms, and how do they feel about that? What have children’s experiences been during COVID-19 and how have they been shaped by inequalities and different family forms? How do individual and demographic differences relate to young adults’ adaptive and maladaptive coping (including rulebreaking) during COVID-19? What has been the impact of COVID-19 on active Canadians? This free webinar will explore these questions by looking at different research being conducted at Brock University. |
