Recently, the COVID-19 lockdown has created many issues for the world's mental health that need a foremost solution and researchers' attention. Thus, the current article analyzes the impact of COVID-19 anxiety on the mental health of Jordan's ideological and political education system. The article also investigates the moderating role of ambivalent sexism and unconscious bias among COVID-19 anxiety and mental health in Jordan's ideological and political education system. The article has applied questionnaires, the primary data collection method, to collect the data from chosen respondents. The data was collected from a population of 5346 college and university students enrolled in Jordan under political and ideological education programs. A sample size of 356 was finally obtained for this research via a self-reported survey. The article has also applied the SPSS-AMOS to check the items and variables' reliability and validity and investigated the association among understudy variables. The results revealed that COVID-19 anxiety has a negative and significant linkage with the mental health of Jordan's ideological and political education system. The findings also revealed that ambivalent sexism and unconscious bias significantly moderated the relationship between COVID-19 anxiety and mental health in Jordan's ideological and political education system. The study is unique in addressing this sensitive issue in the cultural environment of GCC countries. Specifically, studies on such topics are very rare in a setting like Jordan. This study provides guidelines to the policy-establishing authorities on developing policies to improve students' mental health by eliminating COVID-19 anxiety.
