Abstract
How does the relative importance of central areas of life change in times of crisis? This is the central question of this paper. Based on the data of VIC1 and VIC3 it can be shown that in the course of the crisis the relevance of family and partners remained central for the Austrians interviewed and friendships gained in importance. Work, politics and public life remained the least relevant areas of life during the pandemic. Overall, the data show that the "trend toward the micro-social" continued only to a limited extent and that there are strong socio-structural and demographic differences in the perceptions of life domains.
