Abstract:Background: Late chronotype is known to be related with decreased overall health of college students. Yet, the factors that mediate the relationship between chronotype and physical quality of life (QOL) are relatively less studied. Methods: College students (N=566, mean age=21.3, 56.4% male) completed Composite Scale for Mornings (CSM), Chalder Fatigue Scale (CFQ), Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey (MBI-SS), and World Health Organization Quality of Life Instrument-Short Version (WHOQOL-BREF).

“…However, there are few studies on how university students—the persons directly involved—approach such social disparities. According to Noh, Kwon and Shim [ 24 ], university students’ risk of anxiety and depression increases with their perceptions of social inequality. Furthermore, according to a study by Browman, Destin and Miele [ 25 ], perceptions of socioeconomic mobility worsen as perceptions of inequality increase.…”
This study examined university students’ perceptions of inequality, relationships and power following the COVID-19 outbreak. We used a qualitative research method, inductive content analysis (ICA), to analyse their perceptions of inequality in their personal life, insiders and outsiders that show superiority in relationships and people with strong and weak characteristics of power structures. We extracted superordinate concepts, such as those in the individual, interaction and social/environmental dimensions, as the perceptions of inequality, insiders and outsiders and people with strong and weak characteristics. First, we found that university students experience inequalities when they perceive that individuals must cope independently with changes brought about by COVID-19. Second, the results showed that individuals can become insiders or outsiders depending on how they act during the COVID-19 pandemic. Finally, we demonstrated that strong individuals are less affected by COVID-19-related changes than weak individuals. Therefore, improving university students’ quality of life requires plans based on the students’ perceptions of inequality.
