Abstract

The current study aimed to examine the mediating role of mindfulness in the relationship between intolerance of uncertainty and psychological wellbeing during the COVID-19 pandemic. The participants comprised 380 adults in Turkey. Data were collected through the Turkish adaptations of the Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale, the Flourishing Scale, and the Mindful Attention and Awareness Scales. Results from conducting bootstrapped mediation analysis indicated that mindfulness mediated the relationship between intolerance of uncertainty and psychological wellbeing among adults in Turkey. Importantly, the previously significant relationship of intolerance of uncertainty with psychological wellbeing became non-significant once mindfulness was included in the hypothesized model. The findings and some implications were discussed in the context of pandemic psychology.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı COVID-19 pandemisi sırasında belirsizliğe tahammülsüzlük ve psikolojik iyi oluş arasındaki ilişkide bilinçli farkındalığın aracı rolünü incelemektir. Çalışmaya Türkiye’den 380 yetişkin katılmıştır. Veriler, Belirsizliğe Tahammülsüzlük Ölçeği, Psikolojik İyi Oluş Ölçeği ve Bilinçli Farkındalık Ölçeği'nin Türkçe uyarlamaları ile toplanmıştır. Regresyon temelli arabuluculuk analizi sonuçlarıyla, Türkiye'deki yetişkinler arasında bilinçli farkındalığın belirsizliğe tahammülsüzlük ve psikolojik iyi oluş arasındaki ilişkiye aracılık ettiğini bulunmuştur. Çalışmanın en önemli sonucu olarak, bilinçli farkındalık hipotez modele dahil edildiğinde, belirsizliğe tahammülsüzlüğün psikolojik iyi oluş ile önceden önemli olan ilişkisi önemsiz hale gelmiştir. Bulgular ve bazı çıkarımlar pandemi temelli psikoloji bağlamında tartışılmıştır.
