SCHEDULE 

 It is important that we assess the impact that the COVID-19 has had on people’s psychological and mental health. We can do this by observing the emotions and schemas triggered during more than one year of pandemic. Upon the appearance of meaningful clinical symptoms linked to the coronavirus that trigger schemas, people might well use more than one coping style. This fact led us to conduct a survey studying people’s maladaptive behaviors and the emotions they were experiencing. We chose a quantitative research method using the Early Maladaptive Schema Questionnaire together with a checklist for the negative/positive emotions, which we applied to Latin American and Italian people who were working remotely. During the observation period, the sample revealed that the sample triggered different maladaptive schemas. We concluded that the fundamental thing is to identify the maladaptive schemas triggered during the pandemic and find effective coping styles. 

Keywords: working remotely, pandemic, stress, coronavirus, maladaptive schemas, emotions, working under pressure, covid-19, lockdown.
