Abstract

Many people during the pandemic reported for mental health issues, which became a societal issue when the number went up. This article mainly focuses on the relationships among people’s mental health, education level, age, gender, race, and household income during the pandemic from 2020 to 2021. The earlier researchers had findings before the pandemic, but we do not know whether the findings are suitable for the circumstances in the pandemic. This research is advocating for solving this issue. This article’s mediation model utilizes household income and education level as mediators for analyzing the data. Based on the data, the final results show that higher household income people, elderly people, white males, and people with higher education levels tend to have fewer mental health issues than others. The findings imply that inequalities among people indeed influence people’s emotions differently and can help the practitioners in the field balance the resources better.
