Critical conditions in covid can lead to negative psychological effects that affect the mental health of people. Accordingly, the aim of this study was to investigate the structural relationship between fear of covid and covid 's anxiety and coping strategies with the mediating role of anger.

Using the Convenience sampling 250 students were selected and responded to Fear of Disease Coronaviruses Scale by Ahorsu et al. (2020), Corona Disease Anxiety Scale by Alipoor et al. (1398), State-trait anger expression inventory by Spielberger (1988) And Endler & Parker Multidimensional Coping Inventory (1990). data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and path analysis. The results showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between covid anxiety and fear of covid and between anger and fear of covid. Also, there is an indirect and significant relationship between coping strategies and fear of covid (P <0.05).
