COVID-19 and Psychology in Malaysia: Psychosocial Effects, Coping, and Resilience: COVID-19 in Asia

Editat de D. Gerard Joseph Louis, Surinderpal Kaur, Huey Fen Cheong
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mai 2023
Part of a mini series of Focus books on COVID-19 in Malaysia, the chapters in this book addresses the psychosocial impact on the pandemic and ways in which people have learned to develop the ability to be more resilient despite the challenges of living and working during this public health crisis.
Covering a range of topics including life under lockdown, working on the frontlines, and the rapid adaptation to online teaching, the contributors highlight the pervasiveness of the pandemic on Malaysian society, identified factors that potentially increase the psychosocial impact of the pandemic on different segments of the population and how Malaysians have found ways to cope throughout this period. This is an opportunity to witness how researchers from multiple disciplines can join forces during challenging times. There are a great many lessons to be learned from the successes and failures in responding to the pandemic and the measures that have been necessary to contain it.
A fascinating read for scholars with an interest in crisis management in non-Western contexts, especially those with a particular interest in Malaysia, or Southeast Asia more generally.

Recenzii

"We have learned so much about the viral pandemic’s social and psychological consequences in the major global research hubs, but we do not know much about how the countries in the peripheries of these hubs have experienced and responded to the pandemic. In COVID-19 and Psychology in Malaysia: Psychosocial Effects, Coping, and Resilience, we are provided a thoughtful entry point for exploring the socio-psychological experiences of Malaysians during the pandemic. The various chapters provide snapshots in different domains of Malaysia society that point to some convergences with universal pandemic experiences and to how some specific sociocultural practices characterize aspects of Malaysian’s COVID-19 pandemic experiences. There is so much to learn from this volume."---Professor Allan B. Bernardo, Distinguished University Professor and University Fellow, De La Salle University Manila, Former President, ASEAN Regional Union of Psychological Societies
