Abstract
Happiness can be defined from different perspectives. In general, being happy improves people’s lives as it is an essential part of the mental health and well-being of all human beings. However, external situations, such as the pandemic that produced COVID-19, have caused many people to change their perspective on happiness. For this reason, this work had the purpose of exposing the perception of university students about the concept of happiness and psychological well-being in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. For this purpose, a qualitative methodology with a phenomenological design was chosen to analyze the lived experiences of the phenomenon called happiness. The population consisted of psychology students from the Metropolitan University of Education, Science and Technology (UMECIT), La Chorrera branch, the description of the research scenario was six volunteer participants with an age range of 17 to 25 years of both sexes. The instrument applied was elaborated and submitted to expert judgment in order to obtain adequate validation properties to obtain reliable information for the research. Among the findings is that three of the six students feel happier when they enjoy the present and can create new experiences with friends and family, while the other half prefer to work on their dreams because they feel happier fulfilling their goals. In their conclusion, it is pointed out that there is a connection between happiness and some dimensions of psychological well-being such as: interpersonal relationships, autonomy, sense of life and self-acceptance, because these dimensions can be important factors to be happy, since each one of them fulfills a function that allows the human being to feel satisfied and fulfilled with his or her life.
