Academic success and subjective wellbeing in university students during online learning in the COVID-19 pandemic

Abstract

The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between academic success and subjective well-being among university students. An anonymous online survey was created and distributed among several Facebook groups with university students. The research was done in a quantitative manner. Consequently, a convenience sample was chosen, and each valid response was obtained. This research study had four hypotheses; H1: Students who wore sleeping attire during online learning had low academic success, H2: Students experiencing negative wellbeing had low academic success, H3: students who wore sleeping attire during online learning experienced negative wellbeing and H4: students with low levels of productivity had low academic success. Participants were 18 years old or older and were university students. The data collected from the online survey was analysed through Spearman鈥檚 correlation test. The results showed that there is no relationship between academic success and subjective wellbeing as well as wearing sleeping attire and subjective wellbeing and academic success.
