Research data were analyzed using statistical software package for social sciences and structural equation modeling using SPSS23 statistical software and PLS3 software. The results showed that psychological well-being had a negative relationship with social support and feelings of loneliness and a significant positive relationship with perceived social support. Feelings of loneliness mediate the relationship between fear of coronation, feelings of loneliness, and perceived social support(P<0/05). The results of the structural equation model had a good fit and the feeling of loneliness mediated the relationship between corona fear and perceived social support with the psychological well-being of junior high school male students.
