The sample number of the study is (524) respondents from both Sexes, divided into 301 females (57.4%) and 223 males (42.6). The psychological and social symptoms measures were used. The results indicated that the effect of quarantine during the COVID-19 crisis on some psychological and social aspects was moderate, there were no statistically significant differences due to the sex variable, the male interest in the physical dimension, and there were no statistically significant differences due to the age variable. In addition, there are statistically significant differences in the effect of domestic quarantine on the psychological aspects, which are attributed to the nationality variable, specifically the Jordanian class, and there are differences in the nationality variable in the social dimension for the favor of the non-Jordanian group.
