Abstract
Millions of people around the world were subjected into nationwide or community wide lockdowns in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Scientists also predict that as we enter into a new normal, another pandemic is not impossible, and that lockdowns may be implemented again. Therefore, examining factors affecting lockdown preparedness (LDP) is important. Through a survey of 800 adult residents in Singapore during the pandemic, this study proposed and tested an LDP scale and found that quality of social interactions, news consumption, as well as education and income affect the extent of psychological and emotional preparedness for lockdowns.
