Happiness and Depression Among College Students Amidst the Online Learning

Discipline: Education

Abstract:

Schools and universities were closed during the COVID-19 pandemic to prevent the virus from spreading. The ineffective operations of universities and schools significantly impacted the educational system's shift from traditional face-to-face instruction to online study. Hence, this study investigates the relationship between happiness and depression among college students amidst the online learning modality. Based on the statistical analysis, there is a significant relationship between happiness and depression (r=.128) among college students during the implementation of online learning.
