Abstract :

This study aimed to propose a causal model of the relationship between psychological capital and social anxiety with the mediating role of coping styles during the outbreak of Covid-19 disease in female students. The statistical population comprised the female undergraduate students of Islamic Azad University, Neyshabour Branch, of whom 280 subjects were selected by convenience method as the research sample. The research was designed as correlation study based on structural equations. Research data were collected using Connor Social Phobia Inventory (2000), Psychological Capital Questionnaire by Luthans et al. (2007) and Park Coping Styles Questionnaire (2007) that were implemented online. To analyze data Pearson correlation coefficient and path analysis was applied as statistical procedures. The results indicated that the psychological capital variable had direct and indirect effect on social anxiety; that is, in addition to the direct effect, it had an indirect effect on social anxiety through efficient (positive) and inefficient (negative) coping styles. In addition, the model had an optimum goodness of fit.
