The overall goal of the project is to study the social consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on Canadians so that we can respond in a way that optimizes the overall resilience of our society. Our objective is to understand the impact of public policies on prejudice (e.g. towards people of Chinese origin), attitudes, emotions and behaviors in the context of crisis. We are also interested in the rhythms associated with the return to life after the pandemic. We distributed a nationally representative longitudinal survey to a large sample at regular intervals since the beginning of the pandemic (N = 3617).
