Hypothesis

How do societal crises affect social integration?

Conclusion

The DIRe-Crises-Model provides a framework for understanding how crises impact social relationships and participation.

Supporting Evidence

  • Societal crises affect social integration through various pathways.
  • The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of social integration.

Takeaway

When big problems happen, like a pandemic, they can make it harder for people to connect with each other. This new model helps us understand how that works.

Methodology

Theoretical framework development based on the Differential Investment of Resources (DIRe) Model.

Limitations

The framework has not yet been empirically tested.
