Academic stress during the pandemic according to the sex, age, habitat and educational level of young Spaniards: A predictive model
Abstract
In many societies, the coronavirus pandemic caused a change in the way of life, customs and, in particular, education. Taking young Spanish people, aged 15 to 29, as the study population, the objective of the research was to determine the predictive power of age, sex, habitat and education level on stress generated by the forced digitalization of education during the pandemic. Using a database developed by Reina Sofía Centre for Adolescence and Youth (FAD), a multiple regression analysis has carried out. The resulting model found that sex was a good predictor of the level of stress generated by digitized studies. The rest of the findings were counterintuitive as one would expect increased age, habitat and higher level of studies to be predictive of greater levels of stress. The results are contrasted with recent research on education.
