The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of cognitive regulation of emotion and mental disturbances in predicting anxiety of corona in students. The research method was qualitative-quantitative. First, the cognitive regulation factors of emotion were investigated using the qualitative method (phenomenology). 317 people were selected from the statistical population of Payam Noor Urmia students by available sampling method. In coding, biological factors with 110 open codes, strategic factors with 83 open codes, intrapersonal factors with 71 open codes, and environmental factors with 63 open codes, couple factors with 46 open codes, respectively, are the priority of the cognitive emotion regulation factors in students. they came . And there was a direct relationship between the cognitive regulation of emotion identified and the cognitive regulation of emotion among Payam Noor in students. To predict corona anxiety, students responded to Alipour, et al.'s (2019), cognitive emotion regulation, and Garnoski, et al. (2001) psychological disorder scales (DASS-42). There was a Significant negative and positive correlation between the emotional regulation of adaptive and non-adaptive strategy with Corona anxiety, respectively. There was a Significant negative and positive correlation between emotional regulation of adaptive and non-adaptive strategies with psychological disturbance, respectively..
