The Corona pandemic has caused many psychological disorders and problems that have caused the emergence of many behavioral problems associated with the Corona pandemic, the most important of which are social fears, behavioral problems with eating, and sleep disorders resulting from the pandemic, the problem of abstaining from studying, and disease fears associated with the pandemic. The study aimed to build a measure of behavioral problems associated with the Corona pandemic, and to verify its validity and reliability for a sample of university students. The scale was applied to an available sample of girls’ college students at Ain Shams University. The sample size reached 200 participants whose ages varied in the range from 20 years to 22 years with an average of (21.02) years and a standard deviation of (0.709). The data was analyzed using SPSS programs, and the results resulted When the validity of the test was confirmed using the Pearson equation, it was found to be equal to 0.750 and significant at the level of (0.01), which confirms the validity of the scale. It was also found that the reliability values of the behavioral problems scale dimensions ranged between 0.72 - 0.92, and the stability of the scale as a whole reached a value of 0. ,94 using the Cronbach's reliability coefficient. Which achieves an acceptable stability rate for this tool and makes it suitable for application in the study experience.
