Among the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic is fear. This emotion is linked to negative consequences: thinking about one’s working future has become difficult. However, courage can support students in planning their careers. The present study was divided into two phases. In the first, we investigated, through qualitative research, how university students imagine their future. In the second phase, we hypothesized that courage could mediate in the relationship between fear of Covid-19 and pessimism. The participants were 209 university students aged between 19 and 24 (M = 20.99; SD = 1.39). The results confirmed the hypotheses and showed that students’ concerns are more related to social relationships.

Abstract

Among the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic is fear. This emotion is linked to negative consequences: thinking about one’s working future has become difficult. However, courage can support students in planning their careers. The present study was divided into two phases. In the first, we investigated, through qualitative research, how university students imagine their future. In the second phase, we hypothesized that courage could mediate in the relationship between fear of Covid-19 and pessimism. The participants were 209 university students aged between 19 and 24 (M = 20.99; SD = 1.39). The results confirmed the hypotheses and showed that students’ concerns are more related to social relationships.
