*2.3. Methods*

Due to mobility restrictions imposed by the Italian government to contain the serious spread of the epidemic, the data were collected online from 15 April to 15 May 2020, a period in which the Italian population was forced to stay home in protective isolation.

Participants were asked to answer two self-rating scales, using their PC or tablet. They were also asked for information about the socio-economic status of their families (parents' occupation and education, geographical origin), and if they, or any of their family members, had been directly infected or exposed to a high risk of contagion.
