This study sought to investigate the lifestyle changes of Tehran’s citizens. The method was survey. The statistical population was all citizens over 15 years in Tehran in 1402, and 404 were selected as a sample using a multi-stage sampling method. The findings indicated that the lifestyle changes of Tehran’s citizens have happened in three key dimensions: articulated panic, networked care, and the growth of social activism. Based on the dimension of articulated panic, the feeling of abandonment and pandemic panic has become a fundamental part of the lifestyle of Tehran’s citizens. Based on the dimension of networked care, medicalization of life, avoiding togetherness, virtualization of social life, and physical self-care have become fundamental parts of the lifestyle of Tehran’s citizens. Finally, in the dimension of the growth of social activism, environmental sensitivity and social responsibility have become vital parts of the new lifestyle. In general, the most remarkable change in the lifestyle of Tehran’s citizens has occurred in the indices of “avoiding together” (-0.418), “pandemic panic” (0.413), and “virtualization of social life” (0.283). The slightest changes were related to the indicators of “feeling abandoned” (0.096) and “medicalization of life” (0.114).
