The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on daily life: do social and individual features affect the family atmosphere and the views on the future?

According to several studies, the Covid-19 pandemic has also impacted the home environment and daily life, leading to tensions and sometimes conflicts among family members. To explore these domestic dynamics, quantitative research was conducted to investigate social issues related to contemporary living conditions, ideas, and problems. In this context, a web survey conducted in 2021 with international students allowed for a deeper examination of whether positive or negative attitudes were common (or not) across different habits and cultures, providing both national and international perspectives. Further analysis shows that the emotional states experienced during the pandemic also affect the perception of futureperspectives, regardless of the spent home atmosphere during 2020. Moreover, if during the pandemic some significant relationships are highlighted between the indexes and specific socio-demographic variables, looking at the future it seems that emergencies undo these differences.
