Introduction: Collective disasters, especially those involving infectious diseases, often increase the wave of fear and anxiety that causes widespread disturbances in the behavior and psychological well-being of many people. The purpose of this study was to construct, establish and validate a questionnaire on the psychological dimensions of the Corona epidemic in 1399. Methods: The sample consisted of 542 people who were invited to cooperate with the available method and online. For this purpose, a questionnaire was prepared based on the theoretical literature and existing research in the field of the corona epidemic. In this study, the psychosocial dimensions of the corona pandemic consist of 5 sub-scale: generalized anxiety disorder, quarantine, and social distancing, coping skills, and frustration, and suicide. Initially, items were formulated for each dimension, and after formulating the initial questions, face validity, content, and reliability (internal consistency) were measured. Results: The results showed that by removing some items, the questionnaire with 28 items and 5 dimensions has significant validity. (Validity of 0.74 in the whole test and 0.68 to 0.95 in the subscales). Conclusion: The results show that by using this test, the psychological dimensions of the coronavirus epidemic can be identified.

The aim of this study was to investigate the role of self-concept, emotion regulation, and coronavirus anxiety in predicting self-care behaviors related with covid-19 disease. Design of this study was correlation (prediction-based). The statistical population of the study included people aged 18 to 45 years, 355 people participated in the study by available sampling method and voluntarily through online calling. Data were collected using self-care behaviors questionnaire, emotion regulation questionnaire, integrative self-knowledge scale, self‐compassion scale–short form, self-concept clarity scale and corona disease anxiety scale. Data were analyzed using correlation tests and hierarchical multiple regression analysis. The results showed a correlation test that self-concept clarity, cognitive reappraisal and coronavirus anxiety were positively and significantly correlated with self-care behaviors, but suppression was negatively and significantly correlated with it. Regression results showed that self-concept clarity, cognitive reappraisal and coronavirus anxiety were predictors of increased self-care behaviors, but suppression was negatively and significantly its predictor. According to the findings of this study, it can be used to determine educational priorities and psychological interventions to increase self-care behaviors and reduce the risk of Covid-19 disease.

The phenomenon of phubbing and its relationship with mental health has recently raised concerns. Due to the lack of studies in this area, the aim of this research was to examine the mediating role of self-control in the relationship between phubbing and mental health among students. This study was fundamental in nature and employed a descriptive-correlational method. The study population included all 14,000 students at Kharazmi University during the 2023-2024 academic year, from which 255 individuals were selected through convenience sampling. The research instruments included the Phubbing General Questionnaire (Chotpitayasunond and Douglas, 2018), the Self-Control Questionnaire (Tangney, Baumeister, and Boone, 2004), and the General Health Questionnaire (Goldberg, 1972). The collected data were analyzed using Pearson correlation tests and structural equation modeling with the help of SPSS 27 and JASP 0.18.3.0 software. The findings indicated a significant negative relationship between phubbing and self-control. Additionally, there was a significant positive relationship between self-control and mental health. Furthermore, a significant negative relationship was found between phubbing and mental health. In this study, the indirect relationship between phubbing and mental health through self-control was significant at the 0.01 level. Based on the results, increasing students' awareness of the negative impacts of phubbing is crucial.
