Abstract

The aim of this research is to examine whether teacher candidates' cognitive avoidance and intolerance of uncertainty predict alexithymia. The study was designed as correlational design. 254 senior students in Faculty of Education who were selected by simple random sampling method participated in the study. 20-Item Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20), Cognitive Avoidance Scale, and Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale were used to collect data. Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis were conducted to analyse data. According to results, intolerance of uncertainty and cognitive avoidance explain 20% of total variance for alexithymia.

Keywords: Alexithymia, Cognitive Avoidance, Intolerance of Uncertainty, Teacher Candidate
