Insights

This study used a smartphone app to gather real-time data on how COVID-19 affected practitioners supporting children's rights globally. Findings will inform future research and policy on child well-being during pandemics.

Area of Science:

  • Global Health
  • Human Rights Law
  • Child Development

Background:

  • The COVID-19 pandemic heightened risks to children's health and safety worldwide.
  • The rights and well-being of marginalized children were overlooked amidst pandemic responses.
  • Professionals faced unprecedented challenges supporting children during the global health crisis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a protocol for a multinational study on practitioners' and policymakers' experiences supporting children during COVID-19.
  • To analyze these experiences through the lens of a children's human rights 4P framework (protection, provision, prevention, participation).

Main Methods:

  • A mixed-methods survey using a custom smartphone app (COVID 4P Log for Children's Wellbeing).
  • Data collected from practitioners and policymakers across 29 countries over 8 weeks (Oct 2020-Mar 2021).
  • Analysis involved content analysis, descriptive statistics, and word frequencies.

Main Results:

  • Formal data collection occurred from October 2020 to March 2021.
  • Data analysis was completed in July 2021.
  • The study captured real-time experiences and perspectives on supporting children during the pandemic.

Conclusions:

  • Findings will illuminate COVID-19's impact on efforts to support children's well-being.
  • The study showcases innovative app-based methodologies for multinational research.
  • Mitigating remote data collection risks is crucial for future app-based research.

Survey Safety01:28

Survey Safety

Surveying near highways, rough terrain, or power lines involves significant risks. Working along highways is particularly dangerous and requires the use of warning signs and flagmen. It is safest to avoid working directly on roads and use offsets whenever possible. When highway work is unavoidable, it must follow all safety guidelines. Surveyors should wear bright clothing, such as orange reflective vests, to ensure visibility to motorists, coworkers, and hunters. In construction zones, wearing...

Data Collection by Survey

The systematic method of obtaining and analyzing accurate information of a population is called data collection. A survey is a standard method of data collection that involves collecting information from a target human population about their experience, opinion, or knowledge of a product, service, or process. The responses are recorded and interpreted. The most common survey examples are written questionnaires, face-to-face or telephonic conversations, focus groups, and electronic (e-mail or...

Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Socioemotional Development during Infancy

Socio-emotional development in infancy is primarily shaped by early emotional responses and social connections, with temperament playing a central role. Temperament refers to the consistent patterns in an individual's emotional and behavioral responses, observable even in infancy. By examining temperament, researchers can better understand an infant's unique ways of interacting with the world, influencing subsequent personality and socio-emotional growth.

Bullying02:04

Bullying

A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is...
