Abstract
In a preregistered examination of a large, heterogenous sample, neuroticism, agreeableness, employment insecurity, income insecurity, and insufficient indoor and outdoor space were risk factors for increased psychological distress during the lockdown period of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Extraversion, openness, conscientiousness, and caring for or homeschooling school-aged children did not predict distress.
