Abstract (eng)
This master's thesis deals with the effects of the coronavirus pandemic that individuals consider to be positive. It compares objective and subjective dimensions of crises (Steg 2020, 429). These surveys and their evaluation are based on the theoretical background of the "Lebenswelt" as conceptualised by Schütz & Luckmann. In accordance with this background, both individual areas of life and the possibilities for action given in these areas of life were taken into account as well as the interdependence of subjects. Episodic interviews (N = 8) were carried out in parallel to researching the current state of research in this area. These were chosen because, unlike narrative interviews, the entire life cycles of the interviewees were not of interest for this work. Nevertheless, this exploratory research was intended to give the interviewees the opportunity to set individual focal points without being restricted to a specific area of life. The interviews were analysed on the basis of the explorative, open-ended approach using grounded theory according to Anselm Strauss by using Maxqda. Although limited during the coronavirus pandemic, the ability to act and the interpersonal support that was nonetheless available had a positive effect on coping with the crisis.
