This book addresses how coping with the pandemic has been shaped by the interplay between cognition and emotion. The various contributions to this book explore the impacts of the pandemic on the following: a) How people were confronted with new risks and realities; b) Active processes of emotional resilience and ruminative coping; and c) Moral decision-making.Taken together, the chapters in this volume show how research on cognition and emotion can illuminate the social and emotional strains of the pandemic while helping to identify risk factors that exacerbate these problems and pointing to ways to successfully address and mitigate these problems, such as emotion regulation, social support, and perspective taking.This book is a valuable source for students and researchers in the fields of cognitive and affective sciences including social and clinical psychology. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Cognition and Emotion.
