Abstract

Recently, a new coronavirus, officially called SARS-CoV2 (COVID-19), had brought the entire world into disorders. COVID-19 had caused overall 450 million infections in the entire world, whereas it caused more than 150 thousand in China. It has been doubted whether the COVID-19 can affect people’s mood or not, especially in China. Thus, in this work, the focus point is on how COVID-19 (a new outbroken pandemic) changed Chinese young adults’ (from the age of 18-25) emotional status (stress level, depress level, and anxiety level). The method used in this research is quantitative, which is surveys. The survey was distributed to 56 participants, but 49 of them were valid participants. After analyzing the paper, the result shows some relationships between COVID-19 and the emotional status of Chinese young adults. However, the results are not statistically significant because the sample sizes are small. This research helps others acknowledge how the COVID-19 has changed the emotional status of the young population and helps government/medical institutions obtain more detailed information about young adults’ emotional status during this pandemic to treat those young adults better.
