摘要
The Movement Control Order (MCO) was imposed in Malaysia in March 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This six-month control led to a substantial psychological impact among Malaysians. Using a quantitative survey based on the DASS-21 instrument, 400 Malaysians answered a questionnaire to examine whether demographic factors, risk perception, individual behaviour, mental health and media usage affected the psychological impact of Malaysians during COVID-19. Findings indicate that COVID-19 did impact Malaysians more due to the movement constraint. Besides contributing to the body of knowledge, this study shows that workplace policies that affect quality of life need immediate attention.
