The current study has investigated 10-18 year old students’ affect during lock-down due to Covid-19. The data was initially gathered through semi-structured interviews of the nine students. The interview data was analyzed to develop a ‘Lock-down Affect Scale’. The data was collected online from May 10, 2020 to May 25, 2020. Overall 189 students registered their responses. The data analysis indicates that students of 10-18 year old are experiencing ‘negative affect’ during lock-down.
