The study aims to identify specific features of a psycho-emotional state in students in the context of distance learning during self-isolation. The research objectives are to study the effect of forced self-isolation on the psycho-emotional state of an individual; determine characteristics of a psycho-emotional state of students, and establish a connection between mental states and the experience of loneliness in students.
Materials and methods. Ascertaining experiment was used as the main method. The sample consisted of fifty-five students aged between 19 and 22. The study was conducted in a virtual interaction mode. The results were statistically processed using Kendall’s rank correlation coefficient and r-Pearson’s correlation coefficient.

The findings indicate the features of the psycho-emotional state in students during distance learning in self-isolation; establish the presence of a direct negative relation between the experience of loneliness and the level of mental activation and interest of students, as well as a direct positive connection with anxiety, frustration, and obsessive states.
