Description
Mental health issues have the potential to meaningfully decrease one’s college satisfaction, specifically through the effect of social anxiety and mood disorders, such as depression. This study investigated the relationship of college satisfaction with depression and social anxiety, and the role loneliness plays in these relationships. To measure these variables, a 63-item online questionnaire was administered to college students with a six-point Likert scale for loneliness, depression, and college satisfaction.
