Factors Affecting Fear of Covid-19

Tingyi Zu

Previously, researchers discovered people's mental health status decreases because of the fear of Covid-19 (Ahorsu et al.,2020). We aim to see how Covid-19 impacted students' mental health at Penn State Behrend. We compared students' Covid fear levels with the general population. We are also curious about whether the level of perceived stress (Cohen et al., 1983) has any prediction to the level of Covid fear and feelings of control (Burger & Cooper, 1979).
