Abstract

During the COVID-19 pandemic, universities have shown concern for their students' emotional state and effective learning. Coping and self-regulation of learning are protective factors to reduce stress and achieve optimal learning, affecting different personal and contextual conditions. The study's objective was to analyze the incidence of different sociodemographic characteristics in emotions, stress coping strategies, and self-regulation of learning in university students during home confinement due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants were 854 university students from the Central, South-Southeast, and Northwest regions of México who answered an online self-report questionnaire. There were significant differences in emotions based on gender, academic period, environment, study space, and available technological resources. Women, students from initial academic periods, and those with more electronic devices reported more coping strategies. In turn, women and students in rural settings indicated greater self-regulation of learning. These findings show that sociodemographic characteristics, translated into housing conditions and academic and personal features, affect coping with stress and self-regulation of learning; hence, they need to be considered in educational proposals to promote better learning in college.
