The present study examined the mediating role of intolerance of uncertainty and fear of COVID-19 in the relationship between self-compassion and well-being. The participants were comprised of 667 Turkish individuals (465 females and 202 males; aged between 18 and 73 years) from 75 of 81 cities in Turkey. The model was investigated using bootstrapping. The results showed that self-compassion, intolerance of uncertainty, fear of COVID-19, and well-being are significantly interrelated. Moreover, a serial mediation was found among the variables: individuals with a growth self-compassion to report lower intolerance of uncertainty, which further decreased perceived fear of COVID-19, and subsequently weakened well-being. Results are discussed in the context of COVID-19 and the well-being literature, and theoretical and practical implications were also provided.
本研究考察了不确定性不耐受和对新冠病毒的恐惧在自我同情与幸福感之间关系中的中介作用。参与者包括来自土耳其81个城市中75个城市的667名土耳其人（465名女性和202名男性；年龄在18至73岁之间）。使用自抽样法对该模型进行了研究。结果表明，自我同情、不确定性不耐受、对新冠病毒的恐惧和幸福感之间存在显著的相互关系。此外，还发现这些变量之间存在序列中介作用：具有成长型自我同情的个体报告的不确定性不耐受较低，这进一步降低了对新冠病毒的感知恐惧，随后削弱了幸福感。研究结果在新冠病毒与幸福感文献的背景下进行了讨论，并提供了理论和实践意义。
