Some categorical perceptions shared by Andalusian pre-university students about the coronavirus crisis and its consequences. Should we be concerned? An approach from availability and lexical centrality

The Covid19 pandemic has caused health, economic and social havoc. Specialists consider that the coronavirus crisis has changed our perception of the world, human relationships and leads us to a new reality for which, possibly, not all of us are prepared (Zizek, 2020; Innerarity, 2020). Our main aim will be to observe, describe and analyze the perception that Andalusian high school students have of reality after more than a year of pandemic. To do this, we will use the methodology for obtaining the available lexicon and we will approach the shared categorical perceptions by calculating the lexical centrality index in five categories (pandemic, leisure, future, politics and society). The social distancing measures initiated in the initial period of confinement (March-May 2020) seem to have left students with a feeling of fatigue that is probably influencing their lives and is manifested in the medium term in academic performance. That exhaustion could even lead to emotional imbalances that would be the prelude to anxiety problems and lack of control of the routines necessary to maintain a healthy life.
