Abstract
Surging use of social media during the pandemic has shown a new trend of behaviour for Malaysian citizens. It was as the topic discussed at that time involved criticizing and downgrading significant figures such as politicians and artists for their behaviour of disobeying Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) during pandemic using vulgar and harsh language openly in social media. This situation has been called out by Senator Dato’ Razali Idris as the number one mental illness in Malaysia. To make it worse, Malaysia also has been ranked second as the most aggressive country for cyber bullying. This has shown that this issue needed immediate attention. Due to that, this research study was conducted to investigate the correlation between verbal aggression in social media and one’s mental health during pandemic by looking at depression, anxiety and stress level using a cross sectional survey on 75 undergraduate students of University Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS). The current research findings has shown that there was significant positive but weak correlation between verbal aggression in social media and one’s mental health during pandemic. The overall conclusion for this finding was drawn after three alternative hypotheses that showed the result of weak positive correlation between verbal aggression, depression, anxiety and stress during pandemic after being tested with Spearman’s Correlation was supported with all p-values showing less than 0.05.
