How People Deal With Covid-19: In Terms Of Coping And Moral Panic

Abstract

This study's goal is to see how the community copes with the Pandemic's effects. 1038 people in the COVID-91 red zone filled out the online survey questionnaire. Both the modified coping and moral panic questionnaires (Folkman & Lazarus, 1988) were completed by all participants. According to the findings of this study, eight coping mechanisms were discovered, including problem-solving plans, seeking social support, and isolating yourself from the situation. Planful problem solving (r: -0291; p: 0000), social support (r: -0215; p: 0000), distancing (r: -0270); self-control (r: -0327; p: 0000), positive reassurance (r: -0211; p: 0000) and self-control (r: 0327) are six coping styles that are negatively correlated with moral panic (r: -0,408; p: 0,000). Confrontive coping (r: 0,122; p: 0,000) and escape-avoidance coping are two coping styles that correlate with moral panic (r: 0,122; p: 0,000). (r: 0,196; p: 000) Not reacting aggressively and excessively is the best way to avoid panic. Be wary, but not terrified.
