Therefore, the female gender is constantly searching for the vindication of some sectors of which they are not part. However, reflecting on the purpose of their lives is a topic they are constantly analyzing.
A study by the Oxford Academy called "Purpose in Life during the COVID-19 Pandemic" revealed that goals are a psychological resource that can dampen loneliness. Even increase participation in health protection behaviors. The data collected show the current degree of isolation to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Consequently, having a stronger sense of challenges in life is associated with less loneliness.
On the other hand, the results suggest that psychological resources are related to the accentuation in health behaviors. In addition, the resilience of older adults in times of confinement is emphasized.
