Abstract:

As a public emergency, COVID-19 epidemic has caused public panic, anxiety, depression and other psychological crises. Government trust and social support are considered by academic circles as social environmental factors affecting the public psychological crisis, but there is still a lack of strong empirical evidence to verify. Thus, it has important theoretical and practical significance to study the impact of government trust and social support on the public psychological crisis. Through regression analysis of public questionnaire survey dada during the pandemic, it is found that government trust has helped reduce public psychological crisis, but informal social support has increased public psychological crisis. Therefore, strengthening government trust and preventing the negative effects of informal social support are effective ways to alleviate public psychological crisis.

Key words: psychological crisis, government trust, informal social support, public emergency
