The Coronavirus Anxiety Project 

Purpose

We are a research team that is studying how fear and anxiety about the coronavirus are affecting mental health and well-being of people around the globe. As of July 8, 2020, we developed 3 self-report measures of COVID-19 anxiety that have solid reliability, validity, and cross-cultural  support. These instruments are now registered as research tools by the NIH Public Health Emergency and Disaster Research Response (DR2) Program , part of the World Psychiatry Association’s COVID-19 Mental Health Care Toolkit, and featured on the National COVID-19 Day website as free tools for the world community to use. In addition, these instruments and their research have been cited in major reviews and meta-analyzes, in such journals as the European Journal of Psychiatry, Journal of Psychopathology and Brain, Behavior, and Immunity. Our research has been featured to over 17,000 scientists on Research Gate’s COVID-19 community research page , is a part of the Cambridge University coronavirus collection and recognized on the Evidence Exchange Network in Canada. Recently, our research has been cited in major policy papers from such organizations as the World Health Organization and the Metropolitan Educational Research Consortium.

The Coronavirus Anxiety Scale (CAS; Lee, 2020) is a clinical, mental health screener designed to quickly and accurately identify individuals functionally impaired by their fear and anxiety over the coronavirus. The CAS is currently being translated into many different languages and is being used by over 50 teams of health professionals and researchers from around the world. As of August 27, 2022, the original CAS paper is the most read (138,046 views) and most cited (609 citations) article in the Death Studies journal collection.  The Obsession with COVID-19 Scale (OCS; Lee, 2020) assesses persistent and disturbed thinking about COVID-19, while the Coronavirus Reassurance-Seeking Behaviors Scale (CRBS; Lee, Jobe, Mathis, & Gibbons, 2020) measures reassurance-seeking behaviors associated with concerns over coronavirus infection.  Our hope is that health professionals and scholars will use these tools to identify people at risk for or suffering from clinically significant anxiety related to the coronavirus. We also hope that other researchers will join us in studying the ‘coronaphobia’ phenomenon.

Sherman A. Lee, PhD, is an associate professor of psychology at Christopher Newport University. He studies negative feeling states, such as anxiety and grief, with a specialization in psychological measurement. He has published over 80 journal articles and book chapters and teaches courses in the psychology of personality, psychology of the human-animal bond, and the psychology of death, dying, and bereavement.

Mary C. Jobe, BS, is a doctoral student in the Applied Social Psychology program at the George Washington University. Her interests include developmental, quantitative, and social psychology.

Amanda A. Mathis, BS, is a doctoral student in the Quantitative Psychology program at the University of Notre Dame. Her interests include quantitative and cognitive psychology.

Jeffrey A. Gibbons, PhD, is an associate professor of psychology at Christopher Newport University.  He studies the interrelation between memory, emotions, and attitudes.  The research primarily examines the relation of rehearsal and mood measures (depression, anxiety, and stress) to the fading affect bias (tendency for unpleasant event affect to fade faster than pleasant event affect) across experimental events (alcohol, religion, death, social media, video games, relationships) and control events (e.g., non-alcohol) in autobiographical memory.  This work has recently been extended to COVID-19 events.  Finally, his research also examines the believability and recognition of news headlines. 

Elizabeth Crunk, PhD, is an instructor and researcher at the George Washington University in Washington, DC, where she also maintains an active psychotherapy practice. Her research focuses on the role of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) in the bereavement processes of adult mourners, grief coping, and psychometrics and scale development.

Evgenia (Jane) Milman, PhD, teaches and conducts research at St Edward’s University. She is also a faculty member at the Portland Institute for Loss and Transition and adjunct faculty at the National Crime Victim’s Center. She studies the impact of meaning making on mental health following bereavement, trauma and other stressful events. Jane has published novel grief therapy techniques, assessment tools, and therapeutic protocols.

Robert A. Neimeyer, PhD, directs the Portland Institute for Loss and Transition, and maintains an active consulting and coaching practice.  Neimeyer has published over 500 journal articles and book chapters as well as 30 books, including Techniques of Grief Therapy, and serves as Editor of Death Studies. He is currently working to advance a more adequate theory of grieving as a meaning-making process.
