Abstract
This paper presents a quantitative study of students’ emotional impairment as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which was developed as part of a master's thesis. The aim is to determine possible relationships between a sense of coherence and negative affect, considering gender and intended degree. In particular, the aim is to identify students’ anxiety, general apprehension, and worry during the pandemic, as they may induce a disturbance of psychosocial functioning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
