“…In doing so, perceptions of risk shifted from worries over a negative outcome to a more profound unsettling disruption of taken-for-grantedness (Alaszewski & Coxon, 2009). Our research brings various changes to the fore, which we differentiate conceptually using a novel model for temporality (based on Ramanujam et al, 2020). During the 10 weeks we studied, breaks and disruptions, gradual increases/decreases, cycles, phases, and uncertainties about time were visible.…”

“…Moreover, we show how the construction of risk changes over time and implies different modes of temporality. Looking at qualitative longitudinal studies on health, Ramanujam et al (2020) found that many studies did not address change and instead performed a merely static analysis. Other studies, mostly implicitly, were modeled in a specific temporality.…”

“…Neale (2015) suggests, however, that “time” in a qualitative longitudinal study offers a conceptual utility as well as a methodological strategy, which allows us to challenge time as merely a linear progression ( Felt et al, 2014 ) and show instead how people’s lives unfold through a variety of temporal frames. Accordingly, we propose a distinction between five types of temporality in changes over time: interruptions, continuous change, phasic change, cyclical changes (derived from Ramanujam et al, 2020 ), and we have added a fifth mode: uncertainty. These modes of temporality are relevant to how researchers deal with changes they find through longitudinal research and can likewise be used to study research subjects’ perceptions.…”

Based on ongoing longitudinal research in families with young children, we investigate parents’ changing everyday experiences and health care practices of dealing with COVID-19 policies in the Netherlands from March to June 2020. We identify four key themes developing over time. In relation to evolving COVID-19 prevention policies, (a) the lockdown interrupted life and experiences of temporality. (b) Following the lockdown, risk management changed from fear to insecurities and (c) simultaneously, emotion management transitioned from solidarity to fragmentation. (d) Increasingly, pragmatic considerations allowed parents to tackle uncertainties and created room to normalize everyday life. We studied “change” by using a novel conceptual model for temporality and found distinct temporalities in parents’ accounts. In sum, we interpret this as a shift from danger to uncertainty, induced by policy shifts and pragmatically translating those to the lifeworld.
