Title
How COVID-19 Has Impacted Stress and Anxiety Levels in Male and Female College Students
Creator
Subject
Description
The COVID-19 pandemic has had adverse effects on almost everyone, of all ages, races, genders, etc. It has been linked to an increase in mental health issues across the globe. This study aims to look at the impacts that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on stress and anxiety levels in male and female college students and compare the two genders. It is hypothesized that both genders will have an increase of stress and anxiety levels during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is also hypothesized that females will have significantly higher levels of stress and anxiety than males before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. The data used in this study will be collected through an online survey. The survey will consist of the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and the General Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) to retrospectively measure stress and anxiety levels before COVID- 19 and during COVID-19. Along with these questions to measure mental health symptoms, the survey also gathered information about the different COVID-19 factors that have influenced mental health. Results show that both genders have had an increase of stress and anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results also support the hypothesis that females had more of an increase in stress and anxiety than males before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is recognized that not all college students identify as either male or female, but this study only focuses on these two genders. This study provides evidence that mental health among college students during the COVID-19 pandemic was a cause for concern. Keywords: COVID-19, college students, stress, anxiety, gender, Honors Thesis Advisor : Dr. Michael Baranski, PhD.
