New study on EMOTION and MEANING GIVING in COVID-times

New study on EMOTION and MEANING GIVING in COVID-times

"Welcome! How are you doing in the meanwhile?"

The pandemic affects not only our physical health, but also how we experience our lives and give meaning to our existence. By means of a large-scale study, scientists from the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, in collaboration with Ghent University, aim to investigate the further impact of the pandemic on emotion and meaning of life. More concretely, the scientists want to investigate how you experience the pandemic now second wave emotionally compared to the first wave, how we deal with it, how it affects your health and sleep, but above all, how meaning is given to our lives, and whether this period also offers an opportunity to come out of it stronger. Has life taken on a different meaning? Is more or less thought given to the major themes in life, such as the meaning of life, death and one's own freedom? Are we less unhappy or do we deal with it differently? How do people experience themselves, their own connection with others, their work,...?

About Press - Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Vrije Universiteit Brussel is an internationally oriented university in Brussels, the heart of Europe. By providing excellent research and education on a human scale, VUB wants to make an active and committed contribution to a better society.

The World Needs You

The Vrije Universiteit Brussel assumes its scientific and social responsibility with love and decisiveness. That’s why VUB launched the platform De Wereld Heeft Je Nodig – The World Needs You, which brings together ideas, actions and projects based on six Ps. The first P stands for People, because that’s what it’s all about: giving people equal opportunities, prosperity, welfare, respect. Peace is about fighting injustice, big and small, in the world. Prosperity combats poverty and inequality. Planet stands for actions on biodiversity, climate, air quality, animal rights... With Partnership, VUB is looking for joint actions to make the world a better place. The sixth and last P is for Poincaré, the French philosopher Henri Poincaré, from whom VUB derives its motto that thinking should submit to nothing except the facts themselves. VUB is an ‘urban engaged university’, strongly anchored in Brussels and Europe and working according to the principles of free research.
