Daily affect intensity and variability of adolescents and their parents before and during the second COVID-19 lockdown in the Netherlands
In this 100-daily diary study, we examined how affect intensity and variability of adolescents (N=159, Mage=13.3) and parents (N=159, Mage=45.3) changed after the onset and during (>50 days) the second COVID-19 lockdown in the Netherlands. Using preregistered piecewise growth models, we found only an unexpected increase in parents’ positive affect intensity after the lockdown onset (difference=1.75, p=.005), but no changes in negative affect intensity or variability. Both adolescents and parents reported gradual increases in negative affect intensity and variability as the lockdown prol... Mehr ...

In this 100-daily diary study, we examined how affect intensity and variability of adolescents (N=159, Mage=13.3) and parents (N=159, Mage=45.3) changed after the onset and during (>50 days) the second COVID-19 lockdown in the Netherlands. Using preregistered piecewise growth models, we found only an unexpected increase in parents’ positive affect intensity after the lockdown onset (difference=1.75, p=.005), but no changes in negative affect intensity or variability. Both adolescents and parents reported gradual increases in negative affect intensity and variability as the lockdown prolonged (Mslope=0.44-0.67, p<.008). Yet, we found individual differences, which were partly explained by life satisfaction, depressive symptoms, and self-reported lockdown impact. Overall, our findings suggest that a lockdown might trigger changes in affective well-being, especially as it prolongs.
