| Summary: | This study aims to identify the main factors influencing positive emotions among Bachelor of Vocational
Education (ISMPV) students catering at UTHM during the COVID-19 pandemic and to identify the differences in
positive emotional factors between male and female students. This study only involves catering students from the
Faculty of Technical and Vocational Education, Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia. This group of students is
selected because they have experience learning before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is a quantitative
study; therefore, the survey was conducted using a questionnaire instrument to obtain information from the sample.
Analytical methods were used in descriptive and inferential forms, using questionnaires as research instruments. The
data obtained were analyzed using the SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) software version 25 to
obtain the mean values, standard deviations, and t-test to observe the differences between students, male and female.
The results showed that the main factor influencing positive emotions among catering students at UTHM during the
Covid-19 pandemic was the social support factor with a total mean score of 4.66. In addition, the inferential findings
of the t-test found that there was no significant difference in positive emotional factors between male and female
students because all the factors involved greatly helped each student to support positive thinking and behavior
throughout the learning process. |
