- Meanings of social isolation for young Brazilians during the covid-19 pandemic Layza Castelo Branco Mendes Mayara Rocha Coelho Ana Mattos Brito de Almeida Marina Pinheiro Accyoly Ferreira Gabriel Huet Borges de Arruda Cynthia de Freitas Melo Icaro Moreira Costa Luciano Psicología 19 youth covid historic mental health Introduction: The covid-19 pandemic has left a high number of infected and dead in the world, where several social measures have been imposed on the population, especially social isolation.Objective: Given this scenario, based on Vygotsky’s socio-historical theory, this original article aimed to identify the meanings of social isolation in the covid-19 pandemic for Brazilian youth.Method: A survey was carried out, with the participation of 571 young Brazilians, women and men aged between 18 and 25, who answered a sociodemographic questionnaire and the Free Word Association Method (FWAM), analyzed with the help of IRaMuTeQ.Results: The results showed that virtualized socialization is insufficient for the social demand of young people, as evidenced by the most evoked words in category 1, “Homesickness” (χ² = 55,41); “Boredom” (χ² = 50,06); “Anxiety” (χ² = 42,67); “Loneliness” (χ² = 37,15); “Sadness” (χ² = 32,78). It was also identified that their routine was transformed with the insertion of obligations and leisure primarily in the home environment, demonstrated by the prevalence of words like “House” (χ² = 116,18); “Home Office” (χ² = 26,06); “Movie” (χ² = 26,06); “Mask” (χ² = 24,96); “Alcohol” (χ² = 21,67); “Lockdown” (χ² = 21,67), in category 2. Still, young people brought their resignifications in this period, in the face of collective responsibility, indicated by the choice of words in category 3, such as “Care” (χ² = 84,05); “Responsibility” (χ² = 59,21); “Respect” (χ² = 55,03); “Prevention” (χ² = 52,68); “Empathy” (χ² = 34,06); “Protection” (χ² = 21,99).Conclusions: It is concluded that isolation brought negative consequences on relationships and mental health of young people, but also a greater social awareness. 2023 artículo científico 0124-0137 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=497576586009 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4975/497576586009/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4975/497576586009/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4975/497576586009/497576586009.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4975/497576586009/movil https://doi.org/10.17081/psico.26.49.5881 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4975 Psicogente application/pdf Universidad Simón Bolívar Psicogente (Colombia) Num.49 Vol.26
