This study reveals a mediation model showing that intolerance of uncertainty partially mediates post-traumatic growth and psychological inflexibility in high school students.
Abstract In this study examines the mediating role of intolerance of uncertainty in the relationship between post-traumatic growth and psychological inflexibility among high school students who experienced the Kahramanmaraş earthquake on February 6, 2023. The study group consists of 399 participants, including 225 females and 174 males. Data were collected using the Post-Traumatic Growth Inventory, the Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale, and the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-II. Pearson Correlation Analysis was used to analyze the data in line with the research questions. Additionally, a mediation model was employed to analyze the mediating role of intolerance of uncertainty in the relationship between post-traumatic growth and psychological inflexibility. The tested mediation model revealed that intolerance of uncertainty has a partial mediating role in this relationship.
