TL;DR: A negative relationship between fatigue and social connectedness is found, which was mediated by feelings of stress, general worries, and COVID‐19‐specific worries—respectively, indicating that individuals with smaller network sizes, who were highly distressed during the pandemic, were also likely to report feeling more fatigued.

TL;DR: In a large international collaboration, this paper investigated self-reported factors associated with public health behaviours (e.g., spatial distancing and stricter hygiene) and endorsed public policy interventions during the early stage of the COVID-19 pandemic (April-May 2020).

TL;DR: The consistent neural correlates of decisions to give are provided, and it is shown that many will depend on the source of incentives.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate prosocial reinforcement learning rates in young and older adults and find that older adults engage in more prosocial behaviours compared to younger people, while younger adults showed reduced self-relevant learning rates but preserved prosocial learning.
