In contrast to abundant research on the various acute mental effects of COVID-19, the long-term influences of the pandemic are still underexplored in China owing to the paucity of assessment tools. The Pandemic Disengagement Syndrome Scale (PDSS) assesses people's social disengagement as a lasting psychological consequence in Western countries during the post-COVID-19 pandemic era. However, its generalizability across cultures is untested. ⋯ The findings indicated that disengagement syndrome may exist among Chinese people even substantially after the acute phases of the pandemic.

Several possible reasons for the persistence of disengagement in China are discussed.
