Abstract

This study examines whether sociability moderates the negative association between COVID-related disruptions and life satisfaction. Using data collected from an online sample of 349 adults, a series of hierarchical linear regression models revealed that individuals low in sociability were more negatively affected by COVID-related disruptions than highly sociable individuals.
