*3.1. Did Mean Levels of Depression Anxiety and Stress Increase Significantly during the Quarantine Period?*

Mean DASS-21 depression, anxiety, and stress scores for the whole sample are given in the first panel of results in Table 2. When comparing the pre-quarantine outcomes to those reported during the quarantine period, there was a significant increase in mean levels of depression (pre-quarantine *M* = 7.46, quarantine *M* = 10.54, *t* = 10.50, *p* < 0.001), anxiety (pre-quarantine *M* = 5.39, quarantine *M* = 6.02, *t* = 3.39, *p* =0.001), and stress (pre-quarantine *M* = 11.99, quarantine *M* = 12.86, *t* = 2.82, *p* = 0.005). See Figure 1 for illustration.



**Note:** DASS-21 = Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale. Pre-Q = Pre-quarantine. Q = During Quarantine. Standard deviations are given after ±. For each variable, means with different superscripts differ significantly at *p* < 0.01.
