Results: The evaluation of the hypothesized model using goodness-of-fit indices indicated that our proposed model fits with the measured model (CFI=0/96, NFI=0/94, and RMSEA=0/054). Statistical analyses revealed that risk perception and anxiety sensitivity could play mediating role in the structural relations of neuroticism and extravertion with the psychological and behavioral problems of Corona with standard coefficients of -0/052 and 0/161 (p < 0/05). Also, neuroticism has significant effect on the psychological and behavioral problems of Corona with the mediation of risk perception with standard coefficient of 0/100 (p < 0/05).
