ABSTRACT
The Covid-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on people’s lives in many ways. One concern is the psychological impact which the pandemic has had resulting of many different factors including concern about contracting the virus, the effect it has on livelihoods, and the negative impact on life. This study sought to investigate the depressive symptoms among students in Saudi Arabia who are under lockdown restrictions due to the pandemic, and to test gender differences in terms of this depression and its symptoms. The study made use of the depression questionnaire developed by the researcher to assess the level of depression during the experiences of Covid 19. The results showed that a large majority of the participants showed no depression and its symptoms had mild effect. The Covid 19 questionnaire revealed that while students were concerned about infection, they felt that the lockdown measures have many benefits including allowing time to acquire knowledge and skills and to form relationships. There were also differences between male and female students in depression and its symptoms in favor of the female students.
