ABSTRACT: This study was conducted to measure the level of depression and the usage of blue-light emitting screens late at night by B.S. Psychology students in Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila. This study also aimed to correlate these two variables. The study made use of the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) to measure depression and a self-reportorial questionnaire to measure the screen time. The BDI scores showed that 43.01% of the respondents fell under the Normal level of depression. This was the highest frequency among the respondents. Also according to the results, the Extreme depression level was the lowest, with 2.15% of the sample. The mean screen time of the respondents was reported to be 2.47 hours. Using the Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC), it was found that the results of the BDI and the self-report on screen time produced a Pearson r value of 0.009 and a p-value of 0.929, indicating that there is no significant relationship between the variables of the study. The researcher concluded that there is no significant relationship between the variables and other factors might be have had a part to play. Such factors may include the how physically active the respondents may have been as well as the amount of time they spend on sleep.
