Abstract

Naturalist Charles Darwin was the first to rationalize the importance of emotions. Emotions are key factors that set up the body to adapt to things like apprehension and outrage and amplify one's possibilities of endurance and achievement. The lockdown limitations and fear and consequences of infectious infection brought the whole world to a halt. Humans across the globe have realized the unpredictability of life and let go of the need to control it. This situation not only has surged the suicidal rates, domestic violence, job insecurities, grief, scarcity of basic needs, but also took a positive turn in human development. Many people felt calm, enjoyed the family bond, went back to their basic survival skills, came close to humanity, and many other realizations. This chapter provided a critical analysis of human emotions at the time of stress and different coping mechanisms adopted by the most successful species on the planet. It throws light on the different spectrums of psychosocial behaviour. The authors provide a topography of human emotions during COVID-19 pandemic.
