The report presents the results of the research project "Humour or panic?", which focuses on the indirect effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, such as stress and anxiety, with a focus on social media. The purpose of the project is to map the scope of COVID-19-related posts on certain social media platforms. The project "Humour or panic?" studies the extent to which information on the social media platforms can be considered as misleading or contain elements of misinformation. Data collection focused on entries with the keywords "coronasverige", "coronastockholm" and "covidsverige" on Instagram and TikTok. It was carried out between March 2020 and October-December 2020. This resulted in two datasets with 700 entries (Instagram) and 135 records (TikTok) respectively. These were coded and analysed based on an approach in psychology called "coping theory", which focuses on how people handle stress. The results show that users on Instagram and TikTok express a range of coping strategies. Furthermore, only 1.5 percent of the content constitutes mis- or disinformation. This is a smaller proportion than other comparable studies have shown. The report's implications for research on information dissemination on social media focus on the importance of social media platforms for the content and how different types of stress management are communicated on Instagram and TikTok.
