COVID-19 caused a global change in the lifestyles of people around the world. It provided a unique opportunity to examine how external circumstances impact two crucial aspects of functioning relating to "who I am" (values) and "how I feel" (well-being). Participants (N = 215) reported their values and subjective and eudaimonic well-being, nine months before the first lockdown in Poland and two weeks and four weeks into the first lockdown. We observed increased valuing of self-direction, security, conformity, humility, caring, and universalism and a decrease in valuing hedonism. Individuals experienced decreased subjective and eudaimonic well-being, with women responding with stronger negative affect intensity relative to men. Finally, we identified that individuals who were more open to change before the COVID-19 pandemic responded with higher eudaimonic well-being two weeks into lockdown relative to their less open to change peers. This study is unique in that it shows that well-being and individually held values are flexible and adaptive systems that react to external circumstances such as global critical events.

波兰 COVID-19 大流行期间价值观和福祉的变化。

COVID-19 导致世界各地人们的生活方式发生了全球性变化。它提供了一个独特的机会来研究外部环境如何影响与“我是谁”（价值观）和“我的感受”（幸福感）相关的两个关键方面。参与者（N = 215）报告了波兰首次封锁前九个月以及第一次封锁后两周和四个星期的价值观以及主观和幸福感。我们观察到，人们对自我导向、安全感、一致性、谦逊、关怀和普遍主义的重视程度有所提高，而对享乐主义的重视程度则有所下降。个体的主观幸福感和幸福感下降，女性的负面情绪强度比男性更强。最后，我们发现，与不太愿意改变的同龄人相比，在 COVID-19 大流行之前对改变持更开放态度的人在封锁两周后的幸福感更高。这项研究的独特之处在于，它表明福祉和个人持有的价值观是灵活且适应性强的系统，可以对全球重大事件等外部环境做出反应。
