The results from the regression analysis shows that in the group of predictor variables, in the context of the examined variables, above is considered the type of information on Covid-19. Predictors also provide a high degree of explanation of the variance of the criterion variable: concern for the health of relatives and the amount of personal information on Covid-19. The calendar age of the subjects stands out as important factors in predicting pandemic-related stress in the vulnerable-resistant dimension to pandemic-related stress.
