 1.Introduction

On December 31, 2019, China announced the discovery of a cluster of pneumonia cases
in Wuhan. The first American case was reported on January 20, and President Donald
Trump declared the U.S. outbreak a public health emergency on January 31. Restrictions
were placed on flights arriving from China, but the initial U.S. response to the pandemic
was otherwise slow, in terms of preparing the healthcare system, stopping other travel,
and testing.
The first known American deaths occurred in February. On March 6, 2020

A second wave of infections began in June, following relaxed restrictions in

several states, leading to daily cases surpassing 60,000. By mid-October, a third
surge of cases began; there were over 200,000 new daily cases during parts of
December 2020 and January 2021
This chart shows the U.S. states which experienced coronavirus cases during the outbreak of
the disease in 2021.
The number of COVID-19 cases is growing rapidly in the United States in line with an increase in testing.
According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there were 122,653 cases across the
country on March 28, 2020 with 2,112 deaths. New York state has reported the most cases so far - 38,977.
1.1-COVID-19 Stress

COVID-19 refers to the coronavirus disease that emerged in 2019 and led to a
global pandemic. The disease is caused by the severe acute respiratory
syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and has had significant impacts on
various aspects of life worldwide.

Stress in the context of COVID-19 can refer to the psychological and emotional strain
experienced by individuals due to the uncertainties, disruptions, and challenges
brought about by the pandemic. This stress can manifest in various ways, such as
anxiety, fear, worry, and feelings of being overwhelmed.
 1.2-Adaptation

Adaptation in this context refers to the process of adjusting to the changes

and challenges imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. It involves modifying
behaviors, routines, and coping mechanisms to navigate the new normal
created by the pandemic.

College students, like many others, have had to adapt to remote learning,
social distancing measures, restrictions on activities, and the overall impact of
the pandemic on their academic and personal lives
1.3-Coping Among Male and Female U.S. College Students

Coping refers to the strategies and mechanisms individuals use to manage

stress, challenges, and difficult situations. In the context of the COVID-19
pandemic, coping mechanisms can include seeking social support, engaging
in self-care activities, practicing mindfulness, and adapting to new ways of
living and learning.

The study likely explores how male and female college students in the United
States have been coping with the stress and challenges posed by the COVID-19
pandemic. It may investigate differences in coping strategies, resilience, mental
health outcomes, and overall well-being between male and female students.
v Purpose of This Study

The proposed study aims to explore the relationship between stress, adaptation, and
coping in students identifying as male or female during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is
important to note that, although gender spans beyond the binary (i.e., male or female),
current reliable and validated measures, studied together with extant literature, mainly
support data analysis for these two groups at this time. Because persons of male or
female gender have been known to experience stress, adaptation, and coping
differently, this study has the potential of informing systemic interventions and the
appropriateness of support programming at the institutional level for two diverse
groups, especially during a time of additional changes to students’ allostatic load
brought forth as a result of a global emergency, increased and extended time in
isolation, and abrupt changes to education and students’ lifestyles across the nation.
 1.4-Research aim and significance

The study aims to explore the relationship between stress, adaptation, and coping in
students identifying as male or female during the COVID-19 pandemic, with a focus on
systemic interventions and support programming.

• To understand the impact of stress and coping mechanisms in students during the
COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on gender differences.

• It seeks to contribute to the development of systemic interventions and support programs

for male and female students to address their needs effectively.

Recognizing and acknowledging the efforts of individuals in academia who have

paved the way before the researcher highlights the importance of building upon the
work of those who came before
