<p>In light of college campus COVID-19 policies limiting social contact, this study examined the role of COVID-19 perceived stress (CPS), social support from various sources, and negative social exchange (NSE) on loneliness in college students (N = 111) during the transition to in-person learning. Through online surveys at the beginning (T1) and end (T2) of the Fall 2021 semester, we found a positive association between T1 CPS and T2 loneliness.

摘要

In light of college campus COVID-19 policies limiting social contact, this study examined the role of COVID-19 perceived stress (CPS), social support from various sources, and negative social exchange (NSE) on loneliness in college students (N = 111) during the transition to in-person learning. Through online surveys at the beginning (T1) and end (T2) of the Fall 2021 semester, we found a positive association between T1 CPS and T2 loneliness. Although we found a negative association between T1 social support (overall, family, and friend) and T2 loneliness, social support was not a significant moderator of the association between CPS and loneliness. NSE did not predict loneliness. For college students who experienced greater CPS, social support did not alleviate feelings of loneliness. Findings highlight the ongoing impact that the COVID-19 pandemic had on those who experienced CPS, and demonstrate a need to support college students during transition periods when social interactions are disrupted.
