Abstract

This research was designed to examine the mediating role of coronavirus anxiety in the relationship between intolerance of uncertainty and suicide probability among emerging adults. The study included 301 individuals (69.1% Female, 30.9% Male) aged 18-25. Coronavirus Anxiety Scale, Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale, and Suicide Probability Scale were used in the study. When the results were examined, it was found that those who had difficulty adjusting to the new normal and did not see quarantine as an opportunity were significantly more likely to suicide probabilities. They had higher levels of intolerance of uncertainty and coronavirus anxiety. In addition, coronavirus anxiety appears to play a partial mediating role between intolerance of uncertainty and suicide probability. The research indicated that emerging adults' intolerance of uncertainty and coronavirus anxiety levels affected their suicide probability.
