The research included 300 randomly selected students who voluntarily participated from Erciyes University Faculty of Sports Sciences. The data collection tools used in the study were the Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale, developed by Carleton et al. (2007) and adapted to Turkish by Sarıçam et al. (2014), the Buss Perry Aggression Scale, adapted to Turkish by Madran (2013) based on Buss and Perry's Hostility Inventory (1992), and a personal information form prepared by the researcher. The statistical analyses of the data were performed using the SPSS 20.0 software package. Personal information about the candidates, inventory total scores, and factor scores were presented in terms of frequency (f) and percentage (%). For the comparison of scores obtained from the scales, independent T-test statistics were used to examine the differences based on gender and being an active athlete. One-way analysis of variance (LSD) test statistic was used for the comparison of levels of well-being. As a result, significant differences were found in the variables of being an active athlete and the level of well-being among the students of the Faculty of Sports Sciences, while no significant difference was found in terms of gender. Additionally, when examining the correlation and regression results, a positive significant relationship was found between intolerance of uncertainty values and levels of aggression, which accounted for 17.6% of the total variance. It was concluded that intolerance of uncertainty is a value that can affect students' social lives. Uncertain situations encountered in students' social lives can increase their levels of anger, hostility, and aggression, leading to negative impacts on their experiences.
