Analysis and Psychoeducational Implications of the Behavior Factor During the COVID-19 Emergency

Jesús de la Fuente et al. Front Psychol. .

Abstract

This theoretical analysis seeks to contribute to three objectives within the context of the proposed Frontiers Research Topic: (1) delimit two levels of analysis in the present pandemic situation: medicine-epidemiology and behavioral psychology, still under-addressed. While medicine has its essential role on the biological side, psychology has a comparable role on the behavioral side. (2) Analyze the importance of behavioral-educational factors in the pandemic situation, using a precise theoretical model from educational psychology for this analysis. (3) Propose preventive, psychoeducational intervention strategies based on the previous analyses.

Keywords: COVID-19; educational psychology; implications for intervention; psychology; self-regulated learning vs. externally-regulated learning theory.
