Different countries were successful in different ways in their attempts to contain the spread of the coronavirus, which compromised the health of many people. Stress levels rose and the restrictive measures impacted the citizens' trust in institutions. An important resource for managing crises is a country’s economic growth. Given that the gross domestic product (GDP) per capita is one indicator of economic growth, the goal of this study is to investigate the differences in perceived stress and trust in institutions between European countries categorized into below-average, average and above-average GDP per capita levels during the coronavirus pandemic. The analyses of N = 84,080 participants from 29 countries gathered via an online survey showed that citizens of higher-level GDP per capita countries experienced less stress and had more trust in institutions. Compared to the average level, Croatian citizens experienced somewhat higher stress and had somewhat higher trust in the government’s measures. These results imply that economic growth is one of the country-level factors associated with the quality of managing the coronavirus pandemic.

我们都在一起：克罗地亚和其他欧洲国家的冠状病毒经历比较

不同国家以不同方式成功遏制了冠状病毒的传播，这损害了许多人的健康。压力水平上升，限制性措施影响了公民对机构的信任。管理危机的一个重要资源是一个国家的经济增长。鉴于人均国内生产总值 (GDP) 是经济增长的一项指标，本研究的目的是调查欧洲国家之间在感知压力和对机构信任方面的差异，这些国家分为低于平均水平、平均水平和高于平均水平的 GDP冠状病毒大流行期间的人均水平。N = 84的分析，来自 29 个国家的 080 名参与者通过在线调查显示，人均 GDP 较高的国家的公民承受的压力较小，对机构的信任度更高。与平均水平相比，克罗地亚公民的压力更大，对政府措施的信任度更高。这些结果表明，经济增长是与管理冠状病毒大流行的质量相关的国家层面因素之一。
