TIRADO REBAZA, Leo Ulises Michaell et al. Relationship between self-esteem and attitude towards research in Environmental Engineerings students at a Peruvian University in times of Pandemic. Rev. Cien. Tec. In. [online]. 2023, vol.21, n.28, pp.43-48. ISSN 2225-8787.  https://doi.org/10.56469/rcti.v21i28.856.

The COVID-19 pandemic has left havoc on university higher education and the mental health of students due to the sudden changes it brought with it. At that moment, virtuality represented a huge setback in education due to the lack of planning in the face of an event of such magnitude, making the task of teachers and students difficult. The purpose of this research was to identify a possible relationship between self-esteem and the attitude towards research of students from a Peruvian university during the pandemic. A sample of 163 students was used.

The technique was the survey, implementing the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory adapted by Lachira (2014) and the Scale based on the theory of Quezada et al. (2019) adapted by Loza (2021). The results showed a significant and medium- positive relationship between self-esteem and attitude toward research in the study sample (rs=.333; p<0,000), reflecting on the importance of the students' mental health. University students, shocked by the pandemic, also see their attitude towards research diminished.
