“…By the same token, opting for respiratory hygienic conditions significantly minimized the risks of the outbreak (Freedman, 2020;Jianhua, 2020). As a result, people are minimizing the risk of current pandemic situations through washing mouth, covering nose and mouth while coughing or sneezing (Hoang, Hoang, Khuong, La, & Tran, 2020;Hogan, 2020).…”

This study attempt to examine the risk reduction mechanism of the COVID-19 outbreak in Pakistan. World Health Organization (WHO) declared the emergency and provided guidelines to reduce the risk of a pandemic. Thus, people tried to adopt multiple health safety measures to reduce the risk of a pandemic outbreak. Therefore, this study was designed to conduct an online survey technique to collect information from 1264 individuals in Pakistan. The rationale to select the technique was based on the pandemic situations in the country i.e. COVID-19. Moreover, it was used to main social distancing and following the health safety measures. Thus, a well-structured questionnaire was administered based on an attitudinal scale and google form was used. The inclusion criteria were defined on the questionnaire such as an independent age bracket (18-60), resident of Pakistan, using social media, and literate. The response was stopped after reaching the sample at 1264 participants. The study findings reveal that social isolation, social distancing, and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) had a significant positive impact on risk reduction of COVID-19 among individuals. Moreover, hand and respiratory hygienic along with the risk of infection also significantly contributing to minimizing the pandemic outbreak.

“…Community policing facilitating greater tracking efforts by citizens may be an example of collaborative efforts contributing to Vietnamese collective solidarity (14). The multisectoral mobilization of the Vietnamese government, effectively disseminating quality information (and stopping widespread misinformation) about the pandemic and fostering collective wisdom/knowledge about practices and optimistic attitudes toward government capability, fit into a framework of collaborative positive psychology (9,26,30). Collaborative positive psychology is a model that highlights how negative emotions in a time of crisis can motivate positive collaborative transformation in which problem-focused and method-driven responses supporting sustainable well-being are predicated on key principles of collective solidarity, empowerment, intelligence, and teamwork (30).…”

“…Tam giao may have acted as a cultural catalyst undergirding community solidarity in Vietnam in response to the pandemic. Its promotion of collectivist ethics in the backdrop of altruistic acts and swift public health interventions may shape salutogenesis and ultimately have acted as psychological resilience (23,30). The adaptability of Vietnam may be attributable, in part, to a turbulent cultural history of additivity in the face of many abrupt ideological changes (10).…”

COVID-19 is a novel infectious disease and global health crisis with major psychological implications. Of particular focus are the effects it will have on low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) as being under-resourced poses many challenges. Vietnam, a country with an estimated population of 97.33 million people, which until 30 July, 2020, had 459 confirmed COVID-19 cases with no fatalities but as of November 4th had 35 deaths, can be viewed as a model LMIC for other countries struggling with COVID-19. Employing key tactics such as transparency and effective communication, Vietnam was able to foster strong cooperation between government and citizens, contributing to its success during COVID-19. Moreover, Vietnamese resilience, attributable, in part, to “tam giao,” a coexistence of religious and philosophical Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism through cultural additivity, provides a unique mindset that other countries can learn from to adapt and even build psychological resilience against COVID-19 pandemic's psychological outcomes. We suggest countries prioritize transparency and communication to mitigate stigmatization and psychological distress that can result from quarantine and other interventions while promoting resources that provide accurate scientific information and psychological aid to citizens. We believe that Tam giao could be repurposed to relieve inevitable contradictions between values and lifestyles in the context of this devastating global health crisis.

“…Only with their integration can they be altered toward becoming a health resource with a positive impact (Mayer and Vanderheiden, 2019 ). According to Hogan ( 2020 ) they can become key drivers of positive transformation in collaborative groups, providing positive collective responses to commonly shared problems. Collective empowerment, solidarity and collective intelligence are additional drivers to transform the negative into the positive (Hogan, 2020 ).…”

Albert Camus (1913–1960) stands as one of the famous pioneers in the French history of existentialism. He was a novelist, political activist, essayist and editor, as well as a journalist and playwright. Although he was described as philosopher, he often denied this ascription. Through his professional and creative expressions, Camus focused on questions of existentialism, the aspect of the human fate, and meaning in life, death and suicide. These existential questions have experienced a strong revival during the Covid-19 occurrence. This psychobiographical approach aims at understanding Albert Camus' life and work in the context of the terror management theory of Becker and Wong's 4 pillars of PP2.0 theory, namely virtue, meaning, resilience and well-being. Both theories have gained importance during the pandemic. Based on the findings of the research study, implications for future research in the context of the pandemic are given. Finally, this article provides recommendations and best practices on how to approach the Covid-19 pandemic from a terror management theory and PP2.0 perspective in the light of Albert Camus' philosophy. The contribution of this psychobiography is two-fold: first, it expands psychobiographical research on Albert Camus from absurdist and existentialist theories and thereby expands the theoretical framework of psychobiographies. Second, it aims at strengthening the importance of theoretical psychobiographical investigations and their application in real-world scenarios to address complex contemporary challenges on the basis of existentialist positive psychology theories.
