The data was processed using descriptive parameters, Pearson's correlation coefficient and hierarchy regression analysis & SPSS23 software. Results Achieved results didn't show that predictor variables (common automatic thoughts, the sense of general self-efficiency, confrontation strategies and perceived support of family, coach and team peers) are the cause of the common negative events due to COVID-19 and depression relations of Taekwondo students in the middle period of adolescence.
