Mindfulness as a mediator between intolerance of uncertainty and test anxiety among adolescents: a structural equation model
Overview
This study investigates whether mindfulness mediates the relationship between intolerance of uncertainty and test anxiety among 834 high school students in Türkiye. Using structural equation modeling on cross-sectional data, the authors found that higher intolerance of uncertainty was associated with lower mindfulness, which in turn predicted higher test anxiety. The resource presents a partial mediation model linking these variables within an academic context.
