Introduction: The Covid-19 epidemic brought a high level of fear and anxiety. The results of previous studies have shown that the variables of fear of Covid-19, behavioral inhibition system, and negative emotion regulation strategies have a crucial role in predicting psychological well-being. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the relationship between fear of Covid-19 and psychological well-being and the mediating role of the behavioral inhibition system and negative emotion regulation strategies in this context.Materials and Methods: The design of the present study was descriptive-correlational and of the path analysis type. The statistical population of this study included Iranian adults, of whom 450 individuals were selected using the available sampling method. Data were collected using the Rif short form of the Psychological Well-Being Questionnaire, the Fear of Covid-19 Scale, the Behavioral Activation and Inhibition Scale, and the Persian short form of the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire. Pearson correlation method, multiple regression and path analysis were used for data analysis.Results: The results of the present study show that there is a significant relationship (P<0.01) between the fear of covid-19, behavioral inhibition system, and negative emotion regulation strategies with psychological well-being. In addition, the bootstrap results show that the mediating role of the behavioral inhibition system (0.001) and negative emotion regulation strategies (0.006) is significant.Conclusion: Psychological well-being is predicted through the path of fear of covid-19, behavioral inhibition system, and negative emotion regulation strategies.

Introduction: Due to the increasing rate of Covid-19 disease, experiencing a high level of fear and anxiety is predictable. In this regard, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between fear of Covid-19 and health anxiety through the mediating roles of behavioral activation and inhibition system. Materials and Methods: The design of the present study was descriptive-correlation and path analysis. The statistical population of this study included Iranian adults from which 605 people were selected by convenient sampling method. Data were collected using the Health Anxiety Inventory (HAI-18), Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S) and Behavioral Activation and Inhibition Systems Scale (BAS / BIS Scale). Data analysis was performed using Pearson correlation, multiple regression and path analysis. Results: The findings showed that there is a significant correlation (P <0.01) between fear of COVID 19, Behavioral inhibition system and reward responsiveness subscale of behavioral activation system with health anxiety. In addition, the Bootstrap results indicate that the mediating roles of the behavioral inhibition system (0.001) and the reward responsiveness subscale of the behavioral activation system (0.006) is significant. Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, fear of COVID 19 can predict and affect health anxiety through interaction with behavioral inhibition system and reward responsiveness subscale of the behavioral activation system. Therefore, interventions based on the introduction of prevention programs concerning Covid-19 to reduce the fear and anxiety of people about getting it, have positive results and can be considered as prevention programs to help people overcome experienced health anxiety.
