Abstract

The purpose of the study was to investigate the level of psychological immunity and to determine whether there are statistically significant differences at the significance level (α = 0.05) in psychological immunity based on variables such as gender, academic specialization, and age among students of Jordanian universities during the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic. To achieve the study's objectives, the researcher developed a scale to measure psychological immunity. The study sample consisted of 768 male and female students, selected by the convenience sampling method. The findings indicated a high level of psychological immunity among the students. Additionally, the results showed statistically significant differences in the sample means based on academic specialization, favoring students in the humanities. However, there were no statistically significant differences related to gender and age.
