Abstract

The aim of this research is to examine the levels of post-traumatic growth, intolerance to uncertainty, and psychological inflexibility in adult individuals and to explain the nature of the relationship between them. The study is a quantitative research and was conducted using correlational research design. The Post-Traumatic Growth Inventory, Intolerance to Uncertainty Scale (12), Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-II (AAQ-II), and Personal Information Form (PIF) were used in the research. The relationships between variables were examined using correlation, linear regression analysis, and t-test. A statistically significant and negative relationship was found between post-traumatic growth and both intolerance to uncertainty and psychological inflexibility; significant and positive relationship was found between post-traumatic growth and age.
