Abstract

In the most recent usage of the term, a Zoomer is a person who belongs to Generation Z, which is defined as those who were born in late 1990s and early 2000s. The Gen Zers follow Gen Xers, who follow the baby boomers, and the millennials (Generation Y) follow them.The term ‘Generation Zoomers’ describe a group of an individuals who were born into or after the Internet age especially those who grew up with COVID-19 and who have used video conferencing programs likezoom. They are also known as the Zoomer generation or the COVID-19 generation at times. Being the first generation exposed to technology, Zoomers feel more connected and influenced by it which makes them emotionally reliant on other people and less deliberate in their decision making both of which have an impact on their behaviour and mental health. The goal of this research is to comprehend cognitive behaviour of young adult zoomers to examine the factors that affect their behaviour among the undergraduates.
