The results of this study indicate that there is a significant negative relationship between self-esteem and loneliness of X university students in Jakarta during the pandemic (r (212) = -.581, p < .01), which means that the higher the participant's self-esteem, the lower the participant's self-esteem. participants' level of loneliness, and vice versa.
