Due to the prevalence of coronavirus among people, especially the affected countries, which has caused anxiety, the aim of the present study was to investigate the causal modeling of Corona anxiety in students based on optimism and resilience with the mediating role of perceived social support. The research method was descriptive and structural equations. The statistical population of the present study consisted of all students of University of Mohaghegh Ardabili who were studying in the academic year of 2009-2010, when 300 people participated in the research online and through virtual networks. Data collection tools included Corona Anxiety Scale (Alipour et al., 2020), Life Orientation Test (Scheier & Carver, 1992), Resilience Scale (Conner & Davidson, 2003) and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (Zimet et al., 1988). Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling using Spss23 and Lisrel 8.8 software. Based on the results, the causal model confirmed the relationship between optimism, resilience, perceived social support and Corona anxiety in students based on different fitness indices. Optimism, resilience and perceived social support have a direct effect on the Corona anxiety in students; also, Optimism and resilience has an indirect effect on the Corona anxiety in students through perceived social support (P <0.05). Therefore, optimism, resilience and perceived social support play an important role in the Corona anxiety in students and targeting these three components by psychological therapies can be effective in reducing the Corona anxiety in students.

The aim of this study was to investigate the mediating role of positive metacognition and meta-emotion in the relationship between perceived social support with corona anxiety. The research method was descriptive-correlational (structural equation modeling). The statistical population consisted of all citizens of Tehran city in April and May of 2020, based on Internet recall in virtual social networks (WhatsApp and Telegram) by voluntary sampling method 224 people were selected as statistical sample. To collect data, the Corona virus Anxiety scale (Alipour et al., 2020), multi-dimensional scale of perceived social support (Zemmit et al., 1988), and positive meta-cognition questionnaire (Beir, 2011) were used. Pearson correlation coefficient and structural equation modeling were used to analyze the statistical tests using SPSS-25 and AMO2-24 software. Result showed that the fit indices were in optimum condition (REMSA = 0.04, 97.0 = GFI, 98.0 = IFI, 94.0 = RFI, 98.0 = CFI, 0.96 = NFI, 66.0 = PCFI, 56.0 = PNFI). Direct social support routes to positive meta-cognition, meta-cognition and positive metacognitive anxiety and indirect path of perceived social support to corona anxiety with metacognitive and meta-cognitive mediation were significant. The direct path of perceived social support to the corona anxiety was not statistically significant. Research findings emphasize the importance of the role of education based on perceived social support and meta-cognition and positive emotion in prevention of Corona anxiety.
