Özet
The aim of this research is to investigate the relationships among trait anxiety, intolerance of uncertainty, and decision-making behavior. In this research, a descriptive research design was used. The research was conducted with the participation of volunteer university students who were enrolled in the undergraduate programs at Ege University Faculty of Education. Convenient sampling method was used and the data obtained from 105 participants (43 male and 62 female) were analyzed. Data collection instruments in the research were a Demographic Information Form, Trait Anxiety Inventory, Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale (long form), and Iowa Gambling Task. Correlational analysis was used to analyze the research data. As a result of the analysis, there was no statistically significant relationship between university students’ trait anxiety level and Iowa Gambling Task performance. Also, there was no statistically significant relationship between the students’ intolerance of uncertainty level and Iowa Gambling Task performance. However, it was concluded that there was a significant positive correlation between trait anxiety level and intolerance of uncertainty level of the students. The research findings were discussed in the light of the literature and some recommendations were made for future studies.
