We aimed to explore the relationship between intolerance of uncertainty (IU) and coping mechanisms in a nonclinical sample with the same age and educational level.
The Coping Orientations to Problems Experienced (COPE) scale was used to evaluate the coping mechanisms. The IU scale was used to evaluate IU situations.
We found that the negative impact of uncertainty on the action in female students was greater than males. While female students used more planning, instrumental support, reinterpretation, religion, emotional support, venting, and mental disengagement coping styles, male students used more humor, denial, and alcohol/drug abuse coping styles. Subjects with psychological problems had higher IU scores and used some more coping mechanisms (restraint, acceptance, behavioral disengagement, and alcohol/drug abuse) than the others.
Our results suggest that healthy subjects use different coping styles and respond differently to uncertainty in both genders.
我们旨在探讨在年龄和教育水平相同的非临床样本中，不确定性不耐受（IU）与应对机制之间的关系。
采用应对问题的取向（COPE）量表来评估应对机制。IU量表用于评估IU情况。
我们发现，不确定性对女学生行动的负面影响大于男学生。女学生使用更多的计划、工具性支持、重新解释、宗教、情感支持、宣泄和心理脱离应对方式，而男学生使用更多的幽默、否认和酒精/药物滥用应对方式。有心理问题的受试者IU得分更高，且比其他人使用更多的应对机制（克制、接受、行为脱离和酒精/药物滥用）。
我们的结果表明，健康受试者在两性中使用不同的应对方式，对不确定性的反应也不同。
