The present research plan is correlation and preliminary data collection method using questionnaire. The statistical population of the present study includes all students of Allameh Tabatabai University; The number of sample members was selected through Cochran's formula with an error level of 6%, 250 people using available sampling method. Collecting data on the variable of students' attitudes towards emergency education through a researcher-made questionnaire, and for the variable of digital citizenship behaviors, the questionnaire of Ali Abdulhasan Abbas (2020) was used. For data analysis, multivariate regression analysis was used simultaneously. The findings of the research showed that 38% of the variable changes in students' attitudes towards emergency remote education are predicted by the level of their digital citizenship behaviors. The standardized beta coefficients of the variables of digital access, digital culture and digital rights have become negative, and it shows the very weak and inverse relationship of these three variables in predicting the criterion variable (students' attitude towards emergency education); The variables of digital health and digital manners have the greatest contribution towards the direct prediction of the criterion variable.
