The Motivation Barometer during the COVID-19 crisis in Belgium: the role of basic needs, risk perception, and motivation in predicting behavior and well-being.

In this Brown Bag Seminar, I'm pleased to present the research we conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic, revealing dynamics in the psychological functioning of the Belgian population, their behavior and the epidemiology itself. I would like to focus not only on its value for policy during such a time of crisis, but also on what we could learn from it, and how this body of research could be relevant to future societal issues and topics.
