Abstract
The article presents the results of the study of the experience of the COVID-19 pandemic in the context of tolerance of uncertainty. Respondents (N = 2,837) answered a series of questions regarding how they are dealing with the COVID-19 situation, and MSTAT-II questionnaire. It was found that the emotional background is dominated by such emotions as fear, irritation, anxiety and sadness. Tolerance of uncertainty turned out to be negatively associated with all negative emotions, which allows us to consider it as a resource that reduces negative experience in the current situation. Data was also obtained regarding the relationship between the characteristics of the COVID-19 pandemic experience with the age and gender of the respondents.
