Abstract:

The COVID-19 pandemic has posed a significant challenge to public mental health. Therefore, the assessment of mental health in the pandemic is critical. Online search data, as a type of big data, has been applied to psychological research in recent years. Current research on the assessment of mental health in the pandemic based on online search data can be summarized into three categories: comparative studies over time, studies on the correlation between the pandemic and mental health, and validation studies on the validity of online search data, some of which also include spatial comparison, and there are inconsistencies among the above studies. Online search data has the advantages of objectivity, high ecological validity, high temporal resolution, the reflection of users' psychological motivations, and easy availability. Future research on online search should fully use its advantages, improve its reliability and validity, and continue exploring its underlying mechanisms.

Key words: big data, online search, Google Trends, mental health, COVID-19
