Pojava koronavirusa donijela je mnoge promjene u društvu, kako u ekonomskom i
političkom, tako i u društvenom životu ljudi. U prvom dijelu rada postavljen je kontekstualni
okvir koji opisuje učinke pandemije i njezinih ograničenja. Također, naglasak je stavljen na
promjene u društvenom životu i kako su one utjecale na mentalno zdravlje ljudi. U drugom
dijelu rada opisan je značaj društvenih mreža i aplikacija za upoznavanje u pandemiji, a

istraživanja, dok četvrti dio predstavlja istraživanje o korištenju aplikacija za upoznavanje u
vrijeme pandemije. Sudionici istraživanja odgovarali su na pitanja o učestalosti korištenja

istraženi su također i razlozi i motivi tog korištenja.
