利他主义和焦虑：在UK和爱尔兰的COVID-19封锁期间参与在线社区支持计划（OCSI）
Altruism and anxiety: Engagement with online community support initiatives (OCSIs) during Covid-19 lockdown in the UK and Ireland
摘要：
考虑到人们对新型冠状病毒疫情封锁期间心理健康的担忧，了解接触在线新型冠状病毒相关材料如何影响情绪非常重要。在英国和爱尔兰，出现了在线社区支持计划（OCSI），以帮助人们管理他们的生活。然而，人们如何参与这些活动，或者他们是否影响了随后的情绪，却知之甚少。我们进行了调查，以探索英国和爱尔兰的人们如何与OCSI互动，发现70%的人这样做是为了提供支持（例如提供公司）。那些这样做的人报告说，事后感觉明显平静，那些出于一般担忧（例如对反社会行为的反应）的人报告说，事后感觉明显更加焦虑，但那些出于其他原因（例如分享经验或观点）的人报告的情绪没有差异。因此，出于利他目的与OCSI接触可能有助于让人们感到平静。
英文摘要：
Given concerns about mental health during periods of Covid-19 lockdown, it important to understand how engagement with online Covid-19 related material can affect mood. In the UK and Ireland, online community support initiatives (OCSIs) have emerged to help people manage their lives. Yet, little is known about how people engaged with these or whether they influenced subsequent mood. We conducted surveys to explore how people in the UK and Ireland engaged with OCSIs, and found that 70% did so to offer support (e.g. to provide company). Those who did so reported feeling significantly calmer afterwards, those who engaged for general concerns (e.g. in response to anti-social behaviour) reported feeling significantly more anxious afterwards, but there was no difference in reported mood for those who engaged for other reasons (e.g. to share experiences or views). Thus, engaging with an OCSI for altruistic purposes might help to make people feel calmer.
