The Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S), Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale(DERS), as well as the second version of the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (AAQ-II) were used for convergent validity and divergent validity, respectively. Internal consistency method using Cronbach’, s alpha was used to analyze data, and Confirmatory factor analysis using Lisrel-8. 8 software was used for construct validity. Results Cronbach’, s alpha was found to be 91. 5 for the scales overall score. CAS found a positive and significant correlation between the Coronavirus anxiety scale and the sub-components of difficulty in emotion regulation (except for problems engaging in goal-directed behaviors).
