Abstract

In this research, the mediating role of thought control ability in the relationship between difficulty with emotion regulation and intolerance of uncertainty was investigated. The research used the correlational model. The research group included 505 participants, comprising 395 women (78.2%) and 110 men (21.8%), with ages varying from 18 to 40 years (x̄: 20.9, sd: 2.62). Measurement tools in the research included the Thought Control Ability Questionnaire (TCAQ-8), Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale (IUS-12), Difficulty in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS-16) and a Personal Information Form. Data were analyzed using SPSS and Jamovi programs. The research used descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analysis and GLM mediation analysis. When the research findings are examined, for DERS-16 there was a significant positive correlation with IUS-12 and a significant negative correlation with TCAQ-8. There was a significant negative correlation identified between IUS-12 and TCAQ-8. In the relationship between difficulty with emotion regulation and intolerance of uncertainty, thought control ability was identified to have a mediating role.

Özet

Bu araştırmada duygu düzenleme güçlüğü ve belirsizliğe tahammülsüzlük arasındaki ilişkide düşünce kontrol yeteneğinin aracı rolü incelenmiştir. Araştırmada korelasyonel model kullanılmıştır. Araştırma grubunda yaşları 18 ile 40 arasında değişen (x̄:20.9, ss:2,62) 395 kadın (%78.2) ve 110 erkek (%21.8) olmak üzere 505 katılımcı bulunmaktadır. Araştırmada ölçme aracı olarak Düşünce Kontrol Yeteneği Ölçeği-8 (TCAQ-8),Belirsizliğe Tahammülsüzlük Ölçeği Kısa Formu (IUS-12), Duygu Düzenleme Güçlüğü Ölçeği Kısa Formu (DERS-16) ve Kişisel Bilgi Formu kullanılmıştır. Veriler SPSS ve Jamovi paket programları kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmada betimsel istatistikler, Pearson Korelasyon Analizi, GLM Aracılık Analizi kullanılmıştır. Araştırma bulgularına bakıldığında DERS-16 ile IUS-12 arasında anlamlı pozitif ve TCAQ-8 arasında anlamlı bir negatif ilişki saptanmıştır. IUS-12 ile TCAQ-8 arasında ise anlamlı negatif ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Duygu düzenleme güçlüğü ve belirsizliğe tahammülsüzlük arasındaki ilişkide düşünce kontrol yeteneğinin aracı role sahip olduğu saptanmıştır.
