The aim of this research is to investigate the level of loneliness among the students of the Faculty of Science and Arts in Rafha campus, Northern Border University, KSA during the outbreak of Novel Corona virus, and identify the differences among the students in loneliness according to the variables of gender and marital status. To achieve this aim, the researcher applied a descriptive method, prepared a preliminary data form and used UCLA Loneliness Scale. The population of the research was (1160) students, and the sample size was (365) students. The data were collected online in the first semester of the academic year 2020-2021. The results showed that the level of loneliness among the students during the outbreak of the Novel Corona virus was below the average. Moreover, the results revealed that there were significant differences among the students in loneliness according to gender variable: female students' mean (191.59) was greater than the male students' mean (153.82). Also, the results indicated that there were no significant differences among the students in loneliness due to marital status variable.
This research aimed to investigate the level of test anxiety and the relationship between test anxiety and self-esteem among the students of the faculty of Science and Arts in Rafha campus, Northern Border University, KSA during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, it intended to identify the differences in test anxiety among the students according to gender variable. The researcher applied the descriptive method, prepared a preliminary data form, and used the Westside Test Anxiety Scale by Driscoll (2007) and the Self-esteem Scale by El Sayed (2019). The data were collected online, and the sample size was (336) students. The results showed that the level of test anxiety among the students of the faculty of Science and Arts during the COVID-19 pandemic was high. The correlation coefficient between the impairment subscale and self-esteem was negative but statistically insignificant. Moreover, the correlation coefficients between both the worry subscale and the test anxiety total scores with the self-esteem resulted in a negative sign and statistically significant. There were significant differences in test anxiety among the students in the impairment subscale, the P-value was (0.005), which indicates that the difference between the two means is statistically significant, and the males’ mean is greater. While the P-value for the worry subscale was (0.226), which indicates that the difference was insignificant, the P-value of the test anxiety total scores was (0.029), which reveals that the difference between the two means is statistically significant, and the males’ mean is greater.
