OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
COVID-19 became a pandemic that caused widespread panic and increased anxiety and stress in individuals all over the world (World Health Organization, 2020). Many countries closed their schools in early 2020. Professor Chongying Wang’s team conducted one of the earliest longitudinal studies to investigate the anxiety experienced by Chinese university students after the outbreak of COVID-19, just before the start of the new spring term, one month later and three months later. Her research group also examined the mental health of caregivers for children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorders and other developmental disorders, as well as the role of social support mediating between the severity of symptoms and parenting stress during COVID-19. In this talk, Professor Wang will briefly talk about the results of her studies.
Professor Chongying WANG teaches at the Department of Social Psychology, Zhou Enlai School of Government, Nankai University.
