新冠疫情期間澳門民眾社會心理的變化：基於社會主體應對實踐的分析

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the general public in Macao experienced significant changes in social psychology as a result of the outbreak. Some individuals exhibited psychological discomfort, anxiety, and even panic, which evolved in a phased manner alongside the progression of the pandemic. These stages included initial anxiety and panic, followed by a period of relative calm with intermittent relapses, and ultimately a gradual alleviation in the later phase. The primary reasons for seeking psychological assistance were changes in family relationships, with other significant factors including marital issues, interpersonal relationships, and academic stress. The main influences on the social psychology of the general public in Macao were the pandemic itself, the preventive and control measures implemented, and the socio-economic impacts arising from the pandemic. In response, the Macao SAR Government, together with social organizations and schools, adopted proactive and effective strategies. These included timely dissemination of pandemic-related information, adjustment of prevention and control measures, mitigation of the pandemic’s impact on livelihoods, and the establishment of a diversified social psychological service system.
