This study an attitude scale designed to measure intolerance to uncertainty in adultsThe objective was to develop a scale that accurately measures the level of intolerance to uncertainty among adults. Initially, the scale comprised 20 items. However, based on exploratory factor analysis and expert opinion, three items were removed. The refined scale emerged with four dimensions, which together accounted for 72.66% of the variance across 17 items. These four dimensions: "Control," "Doubt," "Anxiety," and "Fear," were identified through both literature review and explanatory factor analysis of intolerance to uncertainty. The revised scale, structured with four sub-dimensions, was designed according to a Likert measurement scale. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the scale is acceptable and exhibits good fit values. T-test values for the factors ranged from 11,67 to 17,24. Additionally, item-total and correlation analyses between factors were conducted, yielding meaningful results. Reliability calculations revealed a Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient of 0.93, indicating high reliability. Consequently, the 17-item Intolerance of Uncertainty Inventory is a valid and reliable tool for measurement.
