• Resumen

  • Research conduction and substantiation of gender semantic parameters of psychological well-being of students (n = 101) during coronavirus self-isolation using empirical and theoretical methods. The findings revealed that student youth experience anxiety and depressive symptoms (t = -2.2; p =.05). Boys were discovered to have cyclothymic, abrupt binary mood swings (t = 2.4; p =.05). Respondents tend to focus on the various activities available in a lockdown setting to protect their mental state. It was stated that the proclivity to displace anxious thoughts is a distinct feature of Group 1 (boys, n = 49). It is noted that future attempts to “escape” from the current situation may result in depression in Group 1 respondents (t = -2.2; p =.05). Group 2 (girls, n = 52) has been shown to be psychologically more vulnerable to the effects of forced lockdown and the increase in morbidity due to social distance and isolation, uncertainty about the future, and hypochondriac tendencies. It is argued that Group 1 respondents are psychologically vulnerable to the coronavirus situation because they have feelings about the future, but personal alienation, secrecy, and the ability to abstract mitigate the self-isolation’s negative effects on their psychological well-being.
