The study was conducted with the relational method. The research data were collected online from 302 individuals (Male n = 76, Female n = 226) with Fear of COVID-19 Scale, Anxiety Sensitivity Index-3, and Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale. The result of both mediation analysis and bootstrapping analysis (with 5000 bootstrap resamples) showed that the relationship between intolerance of uncertainty and fear of COVID-19 was mediated by anxiety sensitivity. Anxiety sensi-tivity decreased the effect of intolerance of uncertainty on fear of COVID-19. Moreover, comparing intolerance of uncertainty and anxiety sensitivity in terms of their predictive levels of the fear of COVID-19, it was con-cluded that anxiety sensitivity predicted the fear of COVID-19 more, and that anxiety sensitivity included the variance of intolerance to the uncer-tainty associated with the fear of COVID-19.en10.6018/analesps.469511info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAnxiety; Anxiety Sensitivity; Intolerance Of Uncertainty; Fear Of Covid-19Health Anxiety; Validation; Version; ModelArticle381162-s2.0-85123524203WOS:000744157200001Q3Q3
