“…Many nations implemented restrictions on individuals and enterprises in March 2020 to halt the spread of COVID-19, going as far as closing all business operations (Liu et al, 2021;Feitelson et al, 2022). Constraints on economic activity caused a slump, which by historical standards resulted in a sharp rise in unemployment rates (Jena et al, 2021).…”

In our study, we review the framework of questionnaire research methods suitable for analyzing the consumer acceptance of vehicle industry innovations, more specifically, of autonomous vehicles. Our aim is to identify the most widely used research models and examine which variables affect consumer acceptance of self-driving technologies to the greatest extent. The various modified versions of the TAM and UTAUT models are the most commonly used models to address the topic in the literature. Both models are characterized by the attempt to predict a consumer's behavioral intention based on the specificities of a technology. Due to the difficulties of prior testing of self-driving technologies, it is worth reviewing these methods from the aspect of how suitable they are for capturing the consumer acceptance of this technology and through what adaptation measures. We do not aim to question the validity of researching the topic by questionnaire surveys, but we find it important to emphasize the significance of cautious adaptation. In the present paper, we intend to provide a methodological basis for future research related to autonomous technology by revising the TAM and UTAUT methods.

“…Therefore, people banded together to cooperate and provide each other with assistance to try to return to normal life independently of government policies [28]. Other examples from the recent COVID-19 pandemic have shown that the need for solidarity with and support for those at risk has increased [12].…”

“…While civic engagement is one of the more studied topics in political science and public administration, it usually deals with citizens' attitudes or behaviors designed to affect the functioning and stability of communities and governments [10]. It has also been identified as a promoter of improved wellbeing [11,12]. Our main argument is that EOCE is manifested in mutual help, the active support of others, and the overall desire to safeguard communities and societies during emergencies and through their recovery.…”

The intensity and impact of emergencies on communities and societies are on the rise. They call for better preparedness, responses, and coping strategies by all those who are involved, especially citizens and the government. This paper introduces the concept of emergency-oriented civic engagement (EOCE), which includes citizens’ attitudes and behaviors aimed at influencing the community and government during emergencies. A theoretical framework and model that explore these complex relationships are presented. The paper first explains the differences between emergency-oriented civic engagement and civic engagement during peaceful times. Next, an exploration of a set of variables such as interpersonal trust, feelings of threat, the cost–benefit ratio, and trust in government that may influence emergency-oriented civic engagement is introduced. Finally, the model is illustrated in light of the COVID-19 pandemic that underscored the importance of solidarity and wellbeing among citizens during emergencies.

“…Dahlen et al [12] demonstrated a positive and robust association between changes in daily activity levels and corresponding changes in psychological well-being. Feitelson et al [13] assessed the well-being effects of COVID-19 in Israel by analyzing the pandemic's impact on several well-being indicators. Other studies have highlighted the psychological wellbeing of parents and their children.…”

This study aims to examine people’s perception of well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan and quantitatively clarify key factors towards realizing evidence-based policymaking. In March 2022, 400 participants responded to a survey conducted through Rakuten Insight. The authors applied an ordinal logistic regression (OLR), followed by principal component analysis (PCA), to create a new compound indicator (CI) to represent people’s perception of well-being during the pandemic in addition to ordinary least squares (OLS) regression with a forward-backward stepwise selection method, where the dependent variable is the principal component score of the first principal component (PC1), while the independent variables are the same as the abovementioned OLR. Consequently, while analyzing OLR, some independent variables showed statistical significance, while the CI provided an option to grasp people’s perception of well-being. Furthermore, family structure was statistically significant in all cases of OLR and OLS. Moreover, in terms of the standardized coefficients (beta) of OLS, the family structure had the greatest impact on the CI. Based on the study results, the authors advocate that the Japanese government should pay more attention to single-person households affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
