Self-regulation strategies and skills are popular topics that have become an important focus of research and one of the basic axes of education. Arabic lesson is mandatory in the education system of the country; however, students do not have problems, progress and success in this lesson due to various reasons. In the present study, the role of self-regulation skills in the academic stress of the lesson caused by the online education of secondary school Arabic students has been investigated. The method of the present study was descriptive (correlation). The statistical population of the research included high school students in Gorgan in the academic year of 1400. The number of 429 students who have completed the online questionnaire accurately has been investigated as a research sample. The data collection tools were Sun et al.'s academic stress questionnaires and Bouffard's academic self-regulation questionnaires. The data obtained from the implementation of the questionnaires were entered into the statistical analysis package (SPSS) and analyzed with statistical methods. The results showed that there is a significant relationship between students' self-regulation skills and stress in online Arabic language education, and there was a significant difference between male and female students in terms of academic stress and self-regulation skills. Considering the significant relationship between self-regulation skills and academic stress and the role of self-regulation skills in academic students, the design and implementation of a program to teach self-regulation strategies and counseling psychological students in the field of academic stress can improve academic progress. Strengthening the academic and educational performance of students will help them succeed in foreign language courses, including Arabic.

Self-regulation will result in educational enthusiasm or engagement which is known as a psychological investment and a direct attempt for learning, understanding, and mastering the required knowledge and skills and finally, results in an improvement in educational performance. Arabic language is a mandatory course in the educational system in our country. In the meantime, many students face problems and are not successful in learning Arabic for various reasons. In this study, we investigated the self-regulatory skills and educational engagement of high school students in online Arabic language courses. This study was performed using a descriptive (correlation) method. The statistical population consisted of high school students in the city of Gorgan in the academic year 2020-2021. From among 560 completed questionnaires, 536 accurately completed ones were examined as the study sample. Data collection instruments included Bouffard educational Self-Regulation Questionnaire (SRQ) and Reeve Academic Engagement Scale. Questionnaires were analyzed by statistical methods in the SPSS software. The results indicated that, due to a significant relationship, the effects of self-regulatory skills and academic enthusiasm of students in online Arabic language courses could be confirmed. There is no significant difference between male and female students in terms of the general educational engagement in online teaching of Arabic language courses. However, more behavioral and emotional tendency to learn Arabic lessons was observed in the male students in the subscales of educational engagement. In terms of self-regulation, there was no significant difference between male and female students in online teaching of Arabic language courses. Taking into account the effects of self-regulatory learning skills and educational engagement in online teaching of Arabic language courses, it would be possible to enhance the students’ academic performance and their success in foreign language courses, especially Arabic, through using appropriate and adequate data in this field and designing, procurement and implementation of appropriate educational programs.

Examining the relationship between psychological well-being and corona virus anxiety in different sections, the results showed that the relationship between psychological well-being and corona virus anxiety in health workers was R = 0.98 (P = 0.002) and 96% of health workers’ anxiety changes were due to psychological well-being changes. Furthermore, 98% of the changes in pharmacy staff anxiety were due to changes in their psychological well-being (R = 0.988 and P = 0.12). There was no significant relationship between psychological well-being and corona virus anxiety among male and female employees and the mean of psychological well-being was significantly different between men and women.

Based on the findings, the relationship between psychological well-being and anxiety status was not significant at the 0.5 level. Although there was no significant relationship between corona virus anxiety and psychological well-being, this issue is significant in some areas such as health and pharmacy staff.
