Abstract


It is a necessary for modern crisis management to understand public response to behavior under the condition of COVID-19.

The three scales were analyzed by exploratory factor analysis, and the factors influencing mental state were regressed in layers. The structural equation model of mental pressure, mental state and coping style was established, The hypothesis is verified, that is, health, less income, work can not be completed, marriage conflicts, family conflicts, media reports on the COVID-19 increase the public panic; public panic significantly increases their positive and negative coping behaviors. Finally, five suggestions are put forward.
