论文题目:Exposure to risks and long-term psychological well-being afterward

论文摘要: 

Exposure to risks can negatively affect human psychological well-being. However, little is known about whether those effects are persistent and how individuals cope with the risk. In this paper, we focus on SARS-Cov-1, the first global pandemic in the 21st century, and its long-term effects on mental health and behavior. We use individuals’ life history information from a large-scale national survey (N = 12,601) to causally evaluate how exposure to pandemic risk affects long-term psychological well-being. We find that exposure to local pandemic risk, i.e., local deaths due to the pandemic, significantly reduced people’s mental health 12 years later. Consistent with the belief-based account of depression, exposure to pandemic risk resulted in more pessimistic beliefs about the future and survival probability, and people reduced savings and increased hedonic consumption, suggesting a “carpe diem” effect.
