Lockdown Wellbeing Scale

The Lockdown Wellbeing Scale (LWS) measures the specific psychological and social impacts of mobility restrictions and lockdown policies on individual well-being. Developed by Giuntella and colleagues from economic and social data on pandemic restrictions, it captures dimensions of isolation, social disconnection, routinization disruption, and perceived loss of autonomy. The LWS is distinct from anxiety/depression measures, focusing instead on how restrictive policies themselves affect quality of life and social well-being.
