Summary:[...]in understanding the general public’s responses to the pandemic, it is useful to develop locally and indigenously sensitive measures. [...]containing a crisis at the scale of the COVID‐19 pandemic requires timely strategies and responses from various institutions. [...]questions such as how people cooperate with institutions, how institutions are designed and formed, and how the balance between institutions’ control and the public’s freedom is negotiated in society are issues that social psychologists should not shy away from. [...]with this special forum we call for fellow social psychologists to reflect on the potential impacts the COVID‐19 pandemic has on our field and consider how we can move the discipline towards a more informed understanding of this pandemic as well as many other global grand challenges humanity is facing.
