Washington, Sep 29 (PTI) The COVID-19 pandemic may have changed personality of people, especially in younger adults, according to a study conducted in the US.

Previous studies have found no associations between collective stressful events -- such as earthquakes and hurricanes -- and personality change, the researchers said.

However, the coronavirus pandemic has affected the entire globe and nearly every aspect of life, they said.
