Description: Consistent with recent literature that holds a psychosocial approach to the COVID-19 pandemic, our paper investigates the extent to which having contracted the disease may lead to changes in mood and perceived distress, and how these changes may be reflected in the perception of interpersonal distance (IPD). Our work also focuses on gender differences in depression, distress, and IPD as women are expected to be more vulnerable than men while dealing with the emotional burden entailed by the COVID-19. The study relied on the combined use of direct (self-report) and indirect (visual-analogic) measures for data collection.
