This study aimed to identify awareness and the psychological and economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic among individuals from China, Italy, Turkey, and the UK, as well as the coping mechanisms people use and the post-traumatic growth (improvement in self-perception and appreciation of life) that can result. The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic were measured using an online version of the COVID-19 Effects Scale. Across four countries, 3,232 people participated in the study. The respondents living in the UK (3.06 ± 0.04) reported more negative psychological impacts than those living in Italy (2.91 ± 0.05) and China (2.81 ± 0.06). The economic impact level amongst participants from Turkey (2.73 ± 0.03) was higher than those living in the UK (2.51 ± 0.05). The participants living in China experienced the greatest post-traumatic growth followed by respondents from Turkey. The participants from all four countries reported post-traumatic growth although there were differences in the level of negative impacts on individuals and coping mechanisms.
