RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN COGNITIVE FLEXIBILITY, ANXIETY SENSITIVITY AND CORONAPHOBIA

OBJECTIVE: In this study, it was aimed to determine relationship two transdiagnostic factors (anxiety sensitivity and cognitive flexibility) between Coronavirus-19 (COVİD-19) phobia.
 METHOD: For the forms were sent social media groups with 4,000 3,500 people on media, participants selected by simple random sampling method. 280 volunteers who met inclusion criteria accepted. Sociodemographic Data Form, Cognitive Flexibility Inventory (CFI), Anxiety Sensitivity Index-3 (ASI-3), COVID-19 Phobia Scale used evaluate volunteers.
 RESULT: 161 male 101 female participated in study. Both sexes have similar characteristics regarding age, marital status, years of education. correlation analyses, positive correlations found coronaphobia scale total scores ASI- physical (r=.584), (r=.556), (r=.524), ASI-total (r=.609), whereas a negative CF-alternatives (r=-.232), CF-control (r=-.375), CF-total (r=-.328). Stepwise regression analysis applied ASI CFI subscales predict scores. According results, ASI-physical (β=.287), ASI-cognitive (β= .178) (β=-.148) negatively predicted significantly {F(7, 254) = 23,361, p < .01) , an R 2 .375
 DISCUSSION: Our results shown that sub-tpye transdiagnostik more closely related coronophobia even predicted.
