Abstract

The impacts of the pandemic were multiple: health, social, economic, political, on quality of life and well-being. The aim of this project is to attempt to study the mental health status, the problems of which are constantly increasing, of Italian academic social scientists experiencing difficulties during the pandemic period, as they play a relevant role within society, trying to construct an index identifying their level of malaise using exploratory factor analysis and logistic regression.
