Abstract

How do people deal with the health and economic threat? What do people think about the pandemic and the measures taken to overcome the crisis? Are attitudes changing towards democracy and the rule of law? A multidisciplinary team led by the social scientist Bernhard Kittel is investigating the attitudes, behaviours, and reactions of people living in Austria to the coronavirus crisis. The "Austrian Corona Panel" is one of the largest social science studies on the coronavirus in Austria and involves a monthly survey of 1,500 people, with the aim of providing solid and reliable data. The funding provided by the FWF will enable Bernhard Kittel and his project team to continue their study, which was initially financed by the Viennese Science, Research and Technology Fund (WWTF).
