Abstract:

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a major shift that was evident with the innovation of telecommunication and maximizing the available resources to still manage to do things regardless of the limitations and restrictions. The surge of internet engagement led people to spend time in the cyber community, resulting in engagement with various social media platforms perceived as the only way to cope with social interaction restrictions. This study employed a descriptive correlational method, purposive sampling technique for one hundred fifty-one (151) students, from 1st year to 4th year College of Arts and Sciences students of UE - Manila. The result showed that the burnout established no significant difference to the demographics; age (p = 0.52 ≤ 41.33), sex (p = 0.34 ≤ 9.49), socioeconomic status (p = 0.54 ≤ 15.51), year level (p = 0.20 ≤ 21.03), parental status (p = 0.94 ≤ 15.51); perceived stress to the demographic age (p = 0.65 ≤ 23.69), sex (p = 0.82 ≤ 5.99), socioeconomic status (p = 0.16 ≤ 9.49), year level (p = 0.22 ≤ 12.59), parental status (p = 0.16 ≤ 9.49); and online disinhibition (p = 0.13 ≤ 21.03), parental status (p = 0.39 ≤ 9.49). Only burnout and perceived stress had a positive correlation, while online disinhibition findings show no correlation.
