This study extends positivity research to identify whether college students' positivity can sustain itself under extreme changes in lifestyle. Specifically, the study sought to determine whether students' positivity would hold in the midst of a pandemic and while shifting from a high-touch, in-class experience to an online, virtual learning space in a Midwest university business course. For these particular students, positivity levels remained high during the pandemic and the move to online instruction. This supports previous research indicating that happy people maintain that outlook even when experiencing adversity.
