One of the most affected groups and a particularly vulnerable sector is that of students, who were able to fully feel the consequences of the pandemic and the psychological pressure related to it. This introduced several stress factors that had the potential to impact their emotional health. The most common problems were the sudden transition to online education, reduced or even non-existent social interactions, the fear of infection and the economic difficulties they faced during this period. We seek to provide a comprehensive understanding of how the youth have been affected, but also potential sources of support and intervention. We used a self-reporting online survey based on the “Balance model” from Positive Psychotherapy in order to assess the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on their emotional health and we also questioned the students about their coping strategies and the actions they consider helpful in such situations. The survey was completed by 1574 students from twenty universities in Romania and showed that a lot of them had professional, physical, and emotional difficulties which they faced mostly alone, without seeking assistance from any type of professional care, such as psychologists or specially designed helplines.","PeriodicalId":42120,"journal":{"name":"SAECULUM","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42082106","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The development of social media platforms has brought about an important change in the standards and laws that influence interpersonal communication and workplace interactions. This study explores the fundamental concepts that underpin social media, such as popularity, connectivity, programmability, and information transmission. The statement points out the similarity between social networking platforms and traditional media while demonstrating how prevalent they are in the public sphere. Furthermore, the abstract analyses the significance of online platforms in the financial sector. In the context of digital transformation, financial institutions have acknowledged the potential of social media as a tool for customer service and generating revenue. Financial institutions utilize social media platforms to expand their reach and improve their ability to connect with a wider audience, thereby increasing accessibility to their clientele. The trend of digitization has forced financial institutions to reevaluate their approaches, conform to the inclinations of their customers, and function within the realm of the internet. Through the utilization of social media, financial institutions may improve their knowledge of customers, advertise their offerings, and establish a dynamic discourse with their customers.","PeriodicalId":42120,"journal":{"name":"SAECULUM","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46402719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
