Abstract
- This study evaluates undergraduate students' coffee consumption levels and investigates how it affects their psychological well-being during online learning. Caffeine is a psychostimulant that boosts body energy levels, and coffee is its primary medium in beverages, so it is popular among students due to their need for help studying, especially during online classes. However, caffeine also has adverse effects. The researchers gathered data from a sample of 100 college students through a digital survey that aimed to know their level of coffee consumption and general mental health status using the GHQ-12 questionnaire. The GHQ-12 generates social dysfunction, anxiety and depression, and loss of confidence. The data obtained from the respondents were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, and measurements of this study have determined that age and social dysfunction are associated with coffee consumption. It was concluded that age is directly proportional to coffee consumption, and students with high social dysfunction tend to consume a high amount of coffee. The researchers recommend that educational institutions must hold seminars for their students to discuss this awareness and encourage dosage limits of coffee to students. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
