The Perceived Social Support Scale, Perceived Risk of COVID-19 Pandemic Scale, Connor–Davidson resilience scale, and Self-Rating Anxiety Scale were used for measurements. From a questionnaire survey conducted on students in five colleges and universities under quarantine due to the epidemic, 2,251 valid responses were collected for analysis (mean age = 19.60 years, 41.6% women). Social support was discovered to have had a significant negative effect on anxiety. The students’ perceived COVID-19 risk and resilience played significant mediating roles in the relationship between social support and anxiety.
