Abstract

This study explored the psychological changes, adaptation processes, and paradigm shifts experienced during self-quarantine. It collected data through in-depth interviews with 19 participants. Using the phenomenological method, it observed that negative psychological changes—such as fear, remorse, a sense of claustrophobia, and uncertainty—and health-related anxiety were common during self-quarantine. Additionally, when looking at life during self-quarantine, it was confirmed that there were restrictions on leisure pursuits, psychological recovery period, and social support. Finally, it was possible to establish new experiences through a paradigm shift toward digital life in limited circumstances. The results provide fundamental data by phenomenologically analyzing change under unique pandemic circumstances.
