Article Synopsis
- The paper introduces the COVID Psychosocial Impacts Scale (CPIS), a new self-report tool designed to assess both the positive and negative psychosocial effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
- It compares the CPIS results with established psychological measures, specifically the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K-10) and the WHO Well-Being Index (WHO-5), using data collected from New Zealand adults in 2020 and 2022.
- The findings show that CPIS has a coherent structure with its subscales and demonstrates construct validity by correlating positively with psychological distress and negatively with well-being, with plans for further cultural assessments in the future.
