Abstract:The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected the general public’s livelihood on an unprecedented scale. Previous literature suggests that this pandemic has negatively the general public’s well-being and led to increased levels of intolerance of uncertainty. Additionally, it is believed that there is a relationship between intolerance of uncertainty and community resilience, specifically that individuals with high levels of community resilience experience less uncertainty. The aim of this quantitative study was to answer the question if university students experience less intolerance of uncertainty now in comparison to students during the COVID-19 pandemic due to university community resilience. Researchers conducted a t-test and two regression analyses in order to test this. The results of this research found that there no significant difference between the levels of intolerance of uncertainty during the COVID-19 pandemic and now. Furthermore, no association between community resilience and intolerance of uncertainty during the COVID-19 pandemic and no association between the community resilience and the intolerance of uncertainty now was found. As this conclusion is opposite to what is currently widely accepted, further research in to the topic is recommended.
