Abstract

The current study examined the mediating role of perceived risk of COVID-19 and the moderating role of hope in the relationship between intolerance of uncertainty and job-seeking anxiety. 812 advanced undergraduate students participated in this investigation ( M age = 21.95, SD age = 1.37; 69% female). Results indicated that intolerance of uncertainty is positively linked to job-seeking anxiety. Perceived risk of COVID-19 mediated the relationship between intolerance of uncertainty and job-seeking anxiety. Hope moderated the direct path and the indirect path from perceived risk of COVID-19 to job-seeking anxiety. Specifically, the relationship between intolerance of uncertainty and job-seeking anxiety became weaker for high-hope students. The results indicated that intolerance of uncertainty and perceived risk of COVID-19 serves as risk factors, while hope serves as a protective factor for job-seeking anxiety. Interventions, which reduce these two risk factors and increase this protective factor, might help to protect advanced undergraduate students from job-seeking anxiety.

不确定性不容忍与求职焦虑:一个有调节的中介模型

本研究考察了新冠肺炎感知风险在不确定性不容忍与求职焦虑之间的中介作用和希望的调节作用。812名本科生参加本次调查(M年龄= 21.95,SD年龄= 1.37;69%的女性)。结果表明，对不确定性的不容忍与求职焦虑呈正相关。感知到的COVID-19风险介导了对不确定性的不容忍与求职焦虑之间的关系。希望缓和了从感知COVID-19风险到求职焦虑的直接路径和间接路径。具体而言，高期望学生对不确定性的不容忍与求职焦虑之间的关系变得较弱。结果表明，对不确定性的不容忍和对新冠肺炎风险的感知是求职焦虑的风险因素，而希望是求职焦虑的保护因素。干预措施降低了这两个风险因素，增加了这一保护因素，可能有助于保护高年级本科生免受求职焦虑。
