Abstract

The purposes of the present study were to report a loneliness reduction model using student’s subjective social capital (SSC), computer mediated communication (CMC) or face to face (FTF) behavior and perceptions of the closed spaces, crowded places, close-contacts avoidance (perceptions of the norms of avoiding 3Cs) in COVID-19 pandemic. In this article, we focused on subjective social capital as people’s cognition of the psychosocial resource availability accumulated by contact with others. Online cross-section research was conducted at 3th faculties in a Japanese private university, in July 2020, collecting 732 samples. And analyses were done for 659 samples. The results showed that the norms of avoiding 3Cs affected computer mediated or face to face communication behavior, and computer mediated or face to face communication behavior affected SSC, and the SSC reduces loneliness. These results imply that SSC, CMC and FTF are the important factor for student to decrease loneliness in COVID-19 pandemic.
