The aim of this study was to determine the role of research help seeking and research self-efficacy in the prediction of research anxiety among graduate students during the Coronavirus 2019 Epidemic (COVID-19). The research method was descriptive-correlational. The statistical population of the present study included all graduate students of Yasouj University in the academic year 2020-2021. 343 graduate students were selected as the sample group by available sampling method. Data collection tools included Rezvani Research help seeking Questionnaire (2016), Biocosturk Research Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (2011), and Research Anxiety Questionnaire of Borang et al. (2017). Pearson correlation test and multiple regression analysis were used to analyze the data. The results of Pearson correlation coefficient test showed that a significant relationship was observed between researches help seeking and research self-efficacy with research anxiety. The results of multiple regression analysis showed that the variables of avoidance of help seeking, need for help, problem recognition self-efficacy, methodological self-efficacy and reporting self-efficacy have the ability to predict research anxiety. Therefore, it can be concluded that research help seeking and research self-efficacy lead to reduce research anxiety students during COVID-19.
