The main purpose of this research was to study the effect of Cognitive Emotion Regulation on styles of decision-making style with considering Mediating role of self-reflection and insight. The study was correlational and population included all employees of Parsian Gas Refining Company (working there, in winter 1396). Of which, 178 people were selected through Stratified random sampling sampling method. Research instruments consisted of Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire by Garnefski and et al (2002), Self-reflection and Insight scale by Grant and et al (2002) and Decision Making Styles Questionnaire by Scotte and Bruce (1995) . Data were analyzed with use of Structural Equation Model (SEM) through AMOS-16 and SPSS-16 software packages. Analysis of structural equation modeling indicated that default model fit for data. The results also showed that effective strategies of emotional regulation, both directly and through self-reflection and insight, affect the effective decision making style . Hence, organizations can not only reduce decision-making errors by employing appropriate strategies to regulate and manage the emotions of their employees, but also reduce work accidents..

Introduction
Learning disabilities are problems that negatively affect an individual's education and education-related skills such as reading, writing, arithmetic, and others because of having different perceptions of what they see. Parents may wonder what his future will be like despite this problem. Various factors affect the family function of parents with learning disabilities; one of the factors is controlling negative thinking. This study aimed to predict family functioning based on the control of negative thinking and parental stress with the mediating role of sexual satisfaction.
Method
In this correlational study, 212 Parents of children with learning disorders in Tehran were selected through the purposive sampling method. For each parameter calculated, at least 10 participants are required to test the model. In this study, the Family functioning of McMaster (1983), and the Control of negative thinking of Wales & Davis (1994) include subscales that measure individual differences in controlling annoying thoughts. Strategies for controlling thinking are distraction, worry, social strategies, self-discipline, and re-evaluating thinking are used, Also Parenting Stress Questionnaire of Abidin (1992), which includes items covering adaptability, child domain, mood, attachment, acceptance, extravagance, reinforcement, inattention / over-action, relationship with spouse, parent domain, depression, sense of competence, role constraints, parental health, isolation It is life… and finally Sexual satisfaction of Hadson, et al. (1981) was used for data collection in this study which assesses couples' satisfaction levels. The proposed model was evaluated using a structural equation method.
Results
There is a significant relationship between control of negative thinking with family functioning (p<0.01), sexual satisfaction with family functioning (p<0.01), control of negative thinking with sexual satisfaction (p<0.01), spiritual well-being with sexual satisfaction (p<0.01), but there was a significant relationship between parental stress with family functioning (p>0.05). Also, indirect pathways were significant control of negative thinking with family functioning with mediating role of sexual satisfaction (p<0.01), parental stress with family functioning with mediating role of sexual satisfaction (p<0.01).
Discussion
The results indicate that there are high levels of conflict and low levels of cohesion in families with children with learning disabilities. It is natural to expect these families to be affected by the symptoms of the child disorder and for parental problems to increase in these families. When parents can acquire these skills, they can be aware of problems and stresses and find appropriate solutions, thus reducing stress in their relationship with the child as well as marital relationships, and improving sexual satisfaction as well as family functioning. Find. Thus, it can be said that sexual satisfaction plays a mediating role in the relationship between controlling negative thinking and parenting stress with family functioning. The statistical population of this study was limited & through questionnaires, which makes the generalization of the results and bias issue with caution. Therefore, it is suggested that more research be done on other samples to generalize the results. And also holding workshops, to strengthen the control of negative thinking and reduce parental stress, it is possible to increase sexual satisfaction in them and increase family functioning.

The aim of the current study was to investigate the relation among the concepts of God, psychoticism and somatization in college students of Medical Sciences Universities. To this end, 363 students from Tehran and Iran Medical Sciences Universities were selected by means of proportional stratified sampling. Religious Concept Survey (Gorsuch, 1968) and Psychoticism and Somatization Scales of Symptom CheckList90-Revised (Deragotis, et al., 1973) were administered to the payhcipants. Regression analysis was used to analyze the data. Results indicated that psychoticism and somatization of college students can be predicted from their concept of God. Moreover, data revealed that female students who had a positive concept of God were lower in psychoticism and somatization. However, male college students who perceive God as an eternal entity were less included to show psychotistic symptoms.

The present study investigated the relationship of some of the important antecedents (social status, social responsibility goal, feeling of school belonging, social efficacy with peer and social efficacy with teacher) with social goal orientation components of female 4th grade high school students in Ahwaz. The population of this study consisted of female high school students (1390-91) in Ahwaz. The sample of this study comprised of 300 female four-grade students who were selected randomly by multi-stage random sampling method. The instruments for collecting data consisted of Social Achievement Goals, Social Responsibility Goal, Social Status Goal, School Belonging, Social Efficacy with Peers, and Social Efficacy with Teacher Scales. Results of Canonical Analysis showed that linear combination of predictive variables (social status, social responsibility goal, sense of school belonging, social efficacy with teacher and social efficacy with peer) with a linear combination of social goal orientation components (mastery, performance-approach and performance-avoidance) is associated. The regression analysis also revealed that social status, social efficacy with peer and social responsibility goal have important roles in predicting social mastery goal. The Results also revealed that social status, social efficacy with teacher and social responsibility goal have important roles in predicting social performance-approach goal. Also, social status and social efficacy with peer have important roles in predicting social performance-avoidance goal.

The aim of this study was to examine mediation effect of self-regulation on the relationship between secure, avoidant, and ambivalent attachment styles with alexithymia in a sample of Iranian general population. A total of 612 volunteers (282 men, 330 women) participated in this study. All participants were asked to complete Adult Attachment Inventory (AAI), Toronto Alexithymia Scale (FTAS-20), and Short version of the Self-Regulation Inventory (SRI-S). Secure attachment style showed a significant negative relationship with alexithymia, while avoidant and ambivalent attachment styles showed a significant positive relationship with alexithymia. Analysis of the data revealed that self-regulation partially mediated the relationship between attachment styles and alexithymia. It is found that secure and insecure attachment styles can predict changes of alexithymia through self-regulation in opposite directions. Based on the results of the present study, it can be concluded that mediation effect of self-regulation on the relationship between attachment styles and alexithymia is partial.

The present study seeks to examine the effectiveness of training emotional self-regulation and memory skills on reducing test anxiety among students. This research is semi-experimental with a control and experiment group. The statistical population includes all of the female students in Urmia secondary schools. Data were gathered from 45 students with test anxiety through Spielberger’s questionnaire. The samples were studied in two experiment groups and one control group (each 15 people). The participants answered Spielberger’s questionnaire after 2 weeks from the last interference session. Memory skills training was executed in eight 60-minute sessions, twice a week for the experiment group. The control group received no treatment. The data were analyzed through descriptive and inferential methods including the multivariate analysis of variance. Findings show that training emotional self-regulation and memory skills has a positive significant effect on reducing test anxiety (p<0/05). Also the LSD follow-up test showed that emotional self-regulation is more effective than memory skills in reducing test anxiety. Research findings show that although both memory skills and emotional self-regulation were effective in reducing test anxiety, the emotional self-regulation approach is more effective than training memory skills.

IntroductionCosmetic surgery is a common phenomenon in recent decades, and the motivation to seek cosmetic surgery is based on a combination of psychological, emotional, and personality factors. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral emotion-oriented behavioral therapy with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy on body image and cognitive emotion regulation of adolescent girls. Methods The population of the study consisted of all female high school students in Tehran in the academic year 1398-97. In a quasi-experimental design of this community, two high schools were selected using multi-stage sampling; 45 students were eligible to enter the study (performing preoperative initial procedures). From this community, 30 students were selected based on the cluster sampling method and were randomly matched into two experimental groups and one control group. Research toolsmultidimensional Body – Self Relations Questionnaire: Used. This questionnaire has 46 articles. The validity of the subscales ranging from alpha ranged from 0.83 to 0.92, indicating a high level of internal consistency. A body was obtained which indicates the reliability of a satisfactory test trial on this scale. Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire: This version includes 9 subscales, representing 9 cognitive emotion regulation strategies that are divided into two categories adaptive and maladaptive; Each of the four items of this questionnaire consists of two items that are graded on a Likert scale from (1) never to (5) always. The total score of each subscale is obtained by adding the score of the items. Internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha range was 0.76 to 0.96) and retest (with correlation range of 0.51 to 0.77) and validity of the questionnaire through principal component analysis using Varimax rotation correlation between subscales (with correlation range of 32 / 0 to 0.67) and the validity of the desired criterion has been reported. ResultsThe results showed that both cognitive-behavioral therapies focused on emotion and mindfulness in improving body image and cognitive emotion regulation. Female adolescents requesting cosmetic surgery were effective (p <0.05). But there is no significant difference between the effectiveness of these two treatments on the mentioned variables (p> 0.05). ConclusionBased on the findings, it said that the application of both therapeutic approaches is effective in Improving body image and better cognitive emotion regulation as well as treatment.

The present study tried to design and test a model for precedents and consequences of organizational spirituality in an industrial organization. The sample included 400 employees who were randomly selected. They were asked to fill in 7 questionnaires, including Ethical Leadership Questionnaire, Transformational Leadership Questionnaire, Ethical Climate Questionnaire, Organizational Justice Questionnaire, Organizational Spirituality Questionnaire, Psychological Empowerment Questionnaire, Job Satisfaction Questionnaire, Emotional Commitment Scale, Organizational Citizenship Behavior Scale, Self-Actualization Scale, and The Self-Centered Scale. The assessment of the proposed model was done through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results showed a rather good fitting of the model with the data. The variables such as ethical leadership, transformational leadership, ethical climate, and organizational justice influenced the organizational spirituality. On the other hand, the organizational spirituality had effects on variables such as psychological empowerment, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, organizational citizenship behavior, self-actualization and the organization-based self-esteem. Moreover, through organizational spirituality, the variables including ethical leadership, transformational leadership, ethical climate, and organizational justice indirectly affected the following variables: psychological empowerment, job satisfaction, emotional commitment, organizational citizen behavior, self-actualization, organization-based self-esteem.

Introduction The system of education, like other systems, has its own principles and characteristics. One of the essential features of this evaluation is the provision of useful feedback, through which one can identify important educational goals and, among other things, examine the important needs for language learning. Unless appropriate feedback is given, students are reluctant, and desperate to overcome academic barriers. Understanding the factors that facilitate academic achievement can have implications for learning and education. On the other hand, the failure and weakness of students in learning English will reduce the resiliency of education and the meaning of education, so students do not learn English or try and retry to improve their performance in learning this language. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of corrective feedback (written and verbal) of teachers in formative evaluation on educational resiliency and meaning of education of ninth grade male students in Khorramabad city. Method This is a quasi-experimental study in which the pretest-posttest and control group was used. The statistical population of this study included all male high school students in Khorramabad city in the academic year of 2016-17. A multistage cluster sampling method was used to select the sample members. The sample consisted of 40 subjects selected by multistage cluster sampling method and were randomly assigned to experimental group and control group. The data were collected from questionnaires, namely, Meaning of Education of Henderson-King and Smith and Academic Resilience Scale of Samuels. Results Data were analyzed using univariate and multivariate analysis of covariance. Covariance analysis showed significant differences between the two groups. The results showed that there is a difference between the two groups at least in terms of one of the dependent variables. To find out this difference, a one way analysis of covariance analysis was performed. The results showed that the effect was equal to %59. Fifty-nine percent of the individual differences in the scores was from components of academic vibration and the meaning of education. The results of single-variable covariance showed that the effects of experimental intervention on increasing academic survival and the meaning of education were %61 and %59, respectively, meaning that %61 of the total variance of academic and %59 of the variance of the meaning of education were related to the effect of the experimental intervention. Discussion The proper corrective feedback function emphasizes improving student performance and enhances students' self-esteem in achieving goals and improving performance by utilizing a self-serving and empowering one, which increases productivity, effort and self-confidence. Effective written feedback to students, in addition to informing them about their weaknesses and strengths, also influences personality and motivation, in the way that the students come to believe that they are important. Thus it can be concluded that written and verbal feedback, suggested by Butler and Wine model, can be effective. If the teachers, in their formative assessment can provide feedback to the students, they can increase the level of their resiliency and meaning of education significantly.

The aim of the current study was to investigate the effect of Cochran's career narrative therapy on academic procrastination of blind students. This is a quasi-experimental study with pretest-posttest design with control group. The statistical population of the study was all of blind students in University of Isfahan and Islamic Azad University of Khorasgan. 30 students were selected by using available sampling method and randomly divided into experimental and control groups (each group consisted of 15 students). The experimental group participated in seven sessions weekly (each session lasted 3 hours). The data was gathered by using Academic Procrastination Questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS-21. The results of the covariance analysis showed that narrative therapy decreased procrastination, in preparing for tests, and academic tasks (p < .05). However, it increased the tendency to change and negative feelings(p < .05). In addition, there was no significant difference between the two groups in preparing articles. Eventually, Cochran's narrative therapy can be used as an effective method for decreasing procrastination of blind students.

The purpose of this study was testing a model of causal relationships of family communication patterns (conversation and conformity), metacognition and personality traits (openness to experience and conscientiousness) with critical thinking disposition mediated by epistemic beliefs of female high school students in Ahvaz, in 2016. The sample consisted of 402 high school students who were selected by multi-stage random sampling method. In this study, five questionnaires were used for collecting data, Family Communication Patterns of Koerner and Fitzpatrick, Metacognitive Awareness of Schraw and Dennison, NEO Five-Factor Questionnaire, Epistemic Beliefs of Bayless and Critical Thinking Disposition of Ricketts. Structural equation modeling (SEM) method was used for analyzing the data. The results showed that all the path coefficients were statistically significant. The relationships of conversation, metacognition, conscientiousness, openness to experience and epistemic beliefs with critical thinking disposition were positive and significant and the relationship of conformity with critical thinking disposition was significant but negative. The model fit indices showed that the model fitted the data properly. The indirect paths were also tested, using bootstrap procedure of Preacher and Hayes. The results indicated that all the indirect hypotheses have been confirmed.

The aim of the present research was designing and testing a model of important precedents and outcomes of safety self-regulation at workplace. In this study, safety climate and conscientiousness were considered as precedents and safety performance and job satisfaction as outcomes. The research design was a correlational one, alone, structural equation modeling, and the sample consisted of 300 employees of an industrial company, who were selected by stratified random sampling method. Participants of the study completed Safety Climate Scale, short form of NEO Personality Inventory (NEO), Regulatory Focus at Work Scale, Job Satisfaction Questionnaire and Unsafe Performance Scale. Validity and reliability of all questionnaires were acceptable. Structural equation modeling (SEM), through Amos-21 and SPSS-22 software packages, was used for data analysis. The bootstrap method, using Preacher and Hayes’ Macro program, was used for testing mediation effects. Findings indicated that the model was fitted to the data. Better fit and more meaningful results were obtained by eliminating non-significant paths and linking some errors. The final model was supported. Also the mediating role of self-regulation in relationship between individual antecedent (conscientiousness) and situational one (safety climate), with outcome variables (job satisfaction and safe performance) was confirmed.

Intoduction Researches has recently provided convincing evidence about diagnosing borderline personality disorder in youth. Therefore National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) acknowledged the diagnosis of borderline personality in individuals under 18 years old and if necessary supports treatment and early intervention in this age group. ACT matrix is an approach based on route selection and upgrading the ability of individuals to approach valuable goals, despite the problems in life. Therefore, in the matrix model getting viewpoints of clients considered as the basis of treatment and by examining actions of getting away and getting close to values and compassion in commitment and change strategies helps them achieve a live, purposeful and meaningful life. In fact mindfulness due to taking viewpoints provides context for getting compassion and mindfulness. Mindfulness and compassion are two wings of a bird that both play effective role in inspiring for man, their transition and also individual evolution to fly. Overall, on the one hand according to evidence-based researches about effectiveness of ACT with compassion treatment on a wide range of borderline personality disorder symptoms and on the other hand lack of this kind of researches in Iran, this question arises that whether ACT with compassion is effective on self-injury behaviors and quality of life of female students with symptoms of borderline personality disorder. Method Present study is an experimental design by using pre and posttest with a control group. Therapeutic intervention in experimental group implemented 16 sixty minute sessions weekly for female students between 15-17 years old who have Borderline personality symptoms. During this time participants in experimental and control group responded to Self-Injury behavior Scale of Klonsky and Glenn (2009) and Quality of Life Index of Cummins (2002), before and after intervention and in follow-up (8 weeks after the end of intervention). Results The findings of covariance analysis showed that ACT matrix with Compassion has significantly reduced symptoms of self-injury and improved quality of life. Eta coefficient shows that ACT with Compassion therapy explain 47% of self-injury behaviors and 46% of life quality and these results has been maintained in follow-up stage. Discussion The results of this study showed that despite the cultural and social differences between the present research group and the groups studied in other societies and cultures, ACT matrix with Compassion therapy has significantly reduced symptoms of self- injury and improved quality of life in teenagers with symptoms of borderline personality disorder. This approach seeks to teach teens how to break up from thought content by taking viewpoints, instead of stuck the past and conceptualizing on future live sort their life story, recognizing values and important individuals of their lives and ultimately taking step to achieve these goals and values without getting stuck in trap of their attention and with compassion for themselves and others.

. At this stage the main statement was extracted and a code was assigned to each expression according to the concepts of that sentence. The researcher then compared these codes and compared similar codes based on features and dimensions, thus making an initial classification of the codes. In order to construct the grounded theory of the categories, they were linked together, and by linking the classes to the central class, the final theory of research on the explanation of the divorce process that emerged from the data was centered around the central class and based on the story behind the data. Participants in this study consisted of men and women with divorced experience, who were purposefully interviewed in 27 semi-structured ways.The achievement of the open coding phase was fifteen main classes. Some of the causal factors are: unfavorable marriage, violence, marital breakdown, and ineffective communication. Some of the underlying factors are: dysfunctional family, socioeconomic status, and couples' sexual, psychological, and medical problems. Couples' weak coping strategies, factors influencing divorce, and dysfunctional beliefs are confounders. Strategic factors include the two main classes of flexibility and initiative as well as isolation and passivity. Consequences also include three main categories: 1. The stigma of divorce; 2. Erosion; 3. Relieving stress and creating a new lifestyle.

The purpose of the current research is to design a combined family-centered treatment based on a human integrated development model and to compare its effectiveness with floor time play therapy in improvingthebehavioral symptoms of children with autism spectrum disorder and the parenting stress of their mothers. The study was performed within a single-subject framework during 6 months on 12 three- to eight-year-old children with ASD and their families. The results were investigated in three stages (pretest, posttest and follow up) using parenting stress scales and the children’s autism scale. Based on the results obtained from the study, the improvement percentage of the behavioral symptoms of the children participating in the family-centered combined treatment group, especially in communicating with others, emotional responses, fear or unrest and verbal communication subscales as well as the parenting stress of their mothers―especially in inattention/ hyperactivity, health, attachment and relationships with spouse subscales―was more than 50 percent and the improvement rate was clinically significant. The effect size of treatment was estimated to be up to 0.80. In conclusion, the family-centered combined treatment designed in this study can increase the effectiveness of floor time and be used as an effective treatment approach in ASD treatment.

The present study aimed to investigate the effects of training in safety riding program on motorcycle rider risk perception and concerns. The research method was quasi-experimental, pretest-posttest and follow-up, with control group. The sample included all motorcycle drivers of city of Babel. Using simple random sampling, 60 randomly selected riders were assigned to experimental and control groups (30 each). Participants completed the Risk Perception Questionnaire. Safety riding training program was administered to experimental group for eight weeks, 16 sessions and 32 hours, but the control group received no training. The analysis of variance with repeated measures was used to analyze the data. The results showed that there are significant differences in risk perception and concern scores of motorcycle riders at post-test and follow-up of experimental group (p<0/0001). This difference was not observed in the control group scores. The results show that, safety riding training program increase the risk perception of the motorcycle riders.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of transactional analysis and emotion regulation interventions and to explain the differences between these two method on irrational beliefs and decision-making styles of female adolescent. Method: In this research a qausi-experimental method was used with pre-test and post-test design with control group. The sample of this study consisted of 34 female students from 2nd to 3rd grade who were studying in high schools in Fardis during academic year of 2016-2017. They were selected through convenience sampling and randomly assigned to three groups. The research instruments were Scott & Bruce’s general decision making styles questionnaire (1995) and Jones’ irrational beliefs scale (1969). Transactional analysis was trained based on Jones and Stewart (1987) training package and Gross (2015) model was used for emotion regulation intervention.Results: The results showed that both approach, i.e. transactional analysis and emotion regulation were effective on adolescent irrational beliefs and decision making styles improvement (P<0.01). However, there was no significant difference in effectiveness of the two interventions on those variables. Conclusion: The results showed that transactional analysis and emotion regulation can be effective on reducing irrational beliefs and dependent and avoidant decision making style. Also increase the rational decision making style in adolescents.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of creative problem solving (CPS) process training on scientific thinking, creativity and innovation in Shahid Chamran University students. The instruction of CPS process (using 12 creativity techniques in two phases of creative and critical thinking) was the independent variable and scientific thinking, creativity and innovation was dependent variables. The present study was a field experimental design with pretest-posttest and followup control group design. The instruments of this study include Scientific Thinking of Liang et.al, Abedi's Creativity Questionnaire and Cools and Van Den Brook's Cognitive Style scale. The sample consisted of 60 male and female undergraduate students, of Shahid Chamran University (2008-2009), who were selected randomly by multi-stage sampling method. The participants were then assigned randomly to experimental and control groups. Before teaching CPS process, pretests on scientific thinking, creativity and innovation were taken from both experimental and control groups. Afterwards, the experimental group was treated with CPS process, but the control group didn't receive any training. After the intervention, posttests were taken immediately from both experimental and control groups. Finally, after six weeks of intervention, followup tests on scientific thinking, creativity as well as innovation were taken. The results of MANCOVA analysis showed that CPS process training caused significant improvement in students' scientific thinking, creativity as well as innovation. Also, the results of repeated MANCOVA revealed that the effects of CPS process over time remained significant.

The purpose of the present study was to examine the relationship between forgiveness and psychological wellbeing with mediating role of positive and negative affects in Shahid Chamran University students. The population in this study was all of the students who were studing in 1388-89 academic year. Among these 352 students were selected using multi-stage random sampling method. The research instruments were Heartland Forgiveness Scale (HFS), Positive Affect and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), and Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWBS). The proposed model of the relationships between variables was tested using structural equation modeling. The fit indices indicated that the proposed model was fit with data. Other results revealed that forgiveness had relationship with psychological well-being directly, and indirectly through positive affect. There was no indirect relationship between forgiveness and psychological well-being through negative affect.

IntroductionDue to the emergence of Covid 19 disease and according to the stable psychological reactions caused by the outbreak of this virus and the importance of anxiety and fear of this virus on the psychological well-being of students, The study aimed to investigate the relationship between fear of Covid 19 and psychological well-being by mediating the role of psychological Hardiness and social support in undergraduate students. The virus challenged the quality of life of people around the world and changed interpersonal issues and self-acceptance questions, the meaning of life, and relationships with others. The disease is prevalent in Iran, as in other countries, and has rapidly endangered the physical and mental health of people, as the prevalence of this disease has raised concerns about the possibility of death from viral infections and has led to psychological stress. Research shows that people with coronavirus anxiety suffer from a wide range of psychological problems, and having the infection is a psychological risk factor, to the point that, among people in the United States, China, and more recently India, people suffer from anxiety. The disease led to suicide. Since to reduce the fear of Quid 19, one must first identify the effective factors and identify the share of each of them and use them, the present study seeks to answer the question of whether reducing the fear of Quid 19 increases welfare psychologically affected? Also, can Psychological well-being and social support play a mediating role in these two variables? As a result, the present study was conducted to investigate this model in students.MethodThis study was a descriptive correlational study. The study's statistical population was all undergraduate students studying at Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz from 1300 to 1400, from which 360 students were selected by a multi-stage sampling method. In this study, tools of fear of Covid 19, a short psychological well-being questionnaire, psychological hardiness of Ahvaz University, and social support were used to collect data. Findings confirmed the suitability of reliability and validity of the instruments. The direct relationships of the collected data were analyzed using SPSS 23 and AMOS 23 software and the indirect and mediated relationships were analyzed using Bootstrap. ResultsThe results showed that there was a significant negative relationship between fear of Covid and psychological Hardiness, social sup, port and psychological well-being (p˂0.01). The results also showed that psychological Hardiness and social support play a mediating role. DiscussionConsidering the inverse relationship between fear of Covid 19 and social support and psychological hardiness, it seems that the existence of supportive measures by family and others during the coronavirus epidemic is necessary. It is also possible to reduce the fear of Covid and increase the psychological well-being of individuals by increasing the characterstic of psychological hardiness. It is suggested that other variables that can be effective as a shield against severe stress should also be considered.
