Abstract:

Over the past few years, all schools were closed down, and learning modalities were shifted online due to COVID-19. The sudden transition of learning subsequently affects how students interact, resulting in difficulty in accepting themselves, which can be aligned to the discontinuous enhancement of self-esteem. This kind of situation consequently results in students stopping their inner growth which is essential for managing emotions such as loneliness. This study investigates the significant relationship between self-esteem and loneliness perceived by college students. The statistical analysis demonstrates a significant relationship between self-esteem and loneliness (r= .131).
