Abstract(s)
Os estudos sobre o impacto da COVID-19 nos estudantes do ensino superior têm vindo
a ganhar importância na literatura. O presente estudo tem como principal objetivo
compreender o possível efeito preditor da intolerância à incerteza (intolerância à
incerteza prospetiva e intolerância à incerteza inibitória) nas variáveis de ansiedade e
comportamentos de evitamento face à COVID-19 nos estudantes do ensino superior.
Para a realização do estudo empírico recorreu-se a uma amostra de 309 estudantes do
ensino superior pertencentes a instituições públicas e privadas em Portugal. A recolha
de dados foi feita através do método de inquérito por questionário, tendo sido
analisados posteriormente a nível individual, através do cálculo de modelos de
regressão linear múltipla. Por um lado, os resultados apontam para o efeito preditor
positivo da intolerância à incerteza, quer prospetiva quer inibitória, da sintomatologia
ansiógena. Por outro lado, a intolerância à incerteza não mostrou predizer os
comportamentos de evitamento face à COVID-19. O trabalho permitiu dar um
contributo para o estudo do impacto da pandemia nos estudantes do ensino superior.
Studies about the impact of COVID-19 on higher education students have been gaining relevance in the literature. The main objective of this study was to understand the possible predictive effect of intolerance to uncertainty (intolerance to prospective uncertainty and intolerance to inhibitory uncertainty) in the variables of anxiety and avoidance behaviours in relation to COVID-19 among higher education students. A sample of 309 higher education students belonging to public and private higher education institutions in Portugal was used. Data collection was carried out using the questionnaire survey method, which were subsequently analysed individually, through the calculation of multiple linear regression models. The results revealed a positive predictive effect of intolerance to uncertainty, both prospective and inhibitory to anxiogenic symptoms. However, intolerance to uncertainty has not been shown to predict avoidance behaviours in relation to COVID-19. This work allowed to make a contribution to the study of the impact of the pandemic among higher education students.
