Abstract

The PERMA profiler scale was used in this study to measure the well-being of students at the University of Languages and International Studies, Vietnam National University, Hanoi during the time of social distancing due to Covid-19. In practice, the focus is on evaluating the overall well-being score of students in general as well as that of students in different academic years. The correlation between well-being and five main pillars: “positive emotions”, “engagement”, “relationships”, “meaning”, and “accomplishment” as well as that among these five elements have also been assessed.
