Materials & Methods: The method of this study was correlational and the research population was all primary school students in District 1 of Karaj who were studying in the second semester of the academic 2020-2021. Multi-stage cluster random sampling was selected. Data collection tools were the “Coronavirus Quarantine” and “Irritability” Questionnaires, and the results were analyzed using independent t-test, Pearson and Spearman correlation coefficient using SPSS software version 28. Findings: Findings indicate that Pearson correlation coefficient shows a positive and significant relationship of about 0.33 between quarantine and total irritability (p<0.01, r=0.334). Therefore, it can be said that the higher the quarantine rate of individuals, the higher their total irritability. Conclusion: Given that students, like other people, overcame difficult coronary limitations, it made them irritable, and it can be said that limitations and external control play an important role in creating this problem.
