TY - JOUR PY - 2020// TI - Social and psychological consequences of the COVID-19 outbreak: the experiences of Taiwan and Hong Kong JO - Psychological trauma: theory, research, practice, and policy A1 - Lei, Man-Kit A1 - Klopack, Eric T. SP - ePub EP - ePub VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - This article discusses the value of studying past social and psychological responses to pandemics and natural disasters in understanding reactions to coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19). By examining severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) experiences in both Taiwan and Hong Kong, we indicate that psychological trauma might be a pathway whereby the COVID-19 outbreak affects long-term health and well-being and that psychological and collective trauma caused by the COVID-19 may relate to future preparedness and risk awareness. We conclude with a consideration of social-psychological processes for future research. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved).
