Social Psychologist Says COVID-19 Has Impacted Social Norms — and We Won’t Go Back to “Normal”

Dr. Mica Estrada answers questions about how the COVID-19 pandemic is impacting society on a psychological level. She focuses on how social behaviors are changing while describing how norms relating to relationships before the pandemic contrast with how people are currently behaving in the midst of it.

Estrada highlights the effect of social changes on older and younger generations, groups that have been psychologically impacted an extensive amount, coping behaviors we can engage in, and what she projects social behaviors may look like after the pandemic has ended.
