SHAFIYEVA, Elnara et al. Psychological nature of the impact of pandemic on the emotional state of the population in Azerbaijan. Universidad y Sociedad [online]. 2022, vol.14, n.3, pp. 188-201.  Epub 02-Jun-2022. ISSN 2218-3620.

The objective of this investigation is to assess the emotional state of the population in Azerbaijan during the pandemic, as well as the psychological impact of the spread of Covid 19 virus on the population. To accomplish this a survey was conducted where 600 respondents participated. Our research has shown that the pandemic has not passed without an impact on the psychological state of Azerbaijani population. The level and degree of expression of this anxiety varies depending on age, gender and social status. Examining the relationship between the 21-character variable "emotional state" and age, gender, who to live with, employment, risk group, and coronavirus risk variables also show that there is a strong relationship between anxiety and age groups. The emotional state is worse in single respondents, but in large families where there are parents and children as well as grandparents, the emotional state and anxiety is lower. The higher the risk group is, the emotional distress is higher as well. Positive emotions were weak in respondents who “infected” or recovered from Covid19 among themselves, their family or kith’s. The analysis of the results shows that while health fears are related to age, the fear of worsening of economic fear is more related to gender variable. There is also a strong direct link between the level of satisfaction from different fields of life and the level of education and employment status. Thus, people with a high level of education and the ones with stable incomes are more satisfied. The study also examined the impact of personal qualities on people's positive or negative emotional state in recent months.
