Results showed the direct and significant relationship between total score of mental health and certain knowledge component. In addition, results showed the direct and significant relationship between anxiety symptoms components of mental health and certain knowledge component and quick learning components of epistemological beliefs. In addition, results showed the significant relationship among emotional exhaustion components, innate ability component, emotional exhaustion component, and quick learning, educational self-efficacy component, and quick learning.
