THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF INTOLERANCE OF UNCERTAINTY, RESILIENCE, AND COPING STRATEGIES ON EMERGING ADULTS’ FUTURE CAREER ANXIETY AND TEST ANXIETY

The purpose of the current study was to examine the indirect effect of resilience and certain coping strategies (seeking social problem-solving solving coping, avoidance) on associations between emerging adults’ intolerance of uncertainty, future career anxiety, and test anxiety in the COVID-19 pandemic. The sample consisted of 481 (357 female, 121 male, and 3 non-binary) emerging adults aged between 18 and 30 (Mage = 22.03, SD= 2.62). Participants completed the study questionnaire online. The indirect effects of resilience and coping strategies on association between intolerance of uncertainty, future career anxiety, and test anxiety were tested. Results of the path analysis demonstrated that there was a significant indirect effect of intolerance of uncertainty on future career anxiety, and test anxiety via resilience. Also, it was found that there was a significant indirect effect of intolerance of uncertainty on future career anxiety via problem-focused coping. Findings showed that intolerance of uncertainty was positively, resilience was negatively associated with future career anxiety and test anxiety. Moreover, problem-focused coping was positively associated with future career anxiety. Additionally, results showed that intolerance of uncertainty was indirectly linked with future career anxiety and test anxiety via resilience. Also, intolerance of uncertainty was indirectly linked with future career anxiety via problem-focused coping. Findings of the current study are discussed considering limitations and future directions.
