COVID-19 Fear Scale, Life Meaning Scale, and Brief Psychological Resilience Scale were used. Fear shows a negative, non-significant association with meaning in life, and a negative significant association with psychological resilience; together they explain 6% of fear.

It is considered that the COVID-19 pandemic seen in Turkey at a later time than in other countries, has affected all age groups --from children to the elderly--physically, psychologically and socially. Individuals ' fear of contracting the disease, their belief that a difficult process awaits them when they contract the disease, and their concern for losing people around them due to this disease have caused psycho-social damage to the mental state of individuals (Stănculescu, 2021) . In addition to these, a decrease in individuals' social interactions to protect themselves from COVID-19 and the increase in the time spent at home can further increase this stress that individuals experience (Droit-Volet et al., 2020; Polizzi et al., 2020) . Although the condition of experiencing fear and stress caused by COVID-19 is normal for individuals' lives, the intense and frequent experience of these emotional reactions can be treated as a problem (Fofana et al., 2020; Satıcı et al., 2020) . In this process, while some psycho-social characteristics of individuals have an accelerating effect on the fear of COVID-19 becoming abnormal, some features may have a preventive effect. For example, the fact that individuals experience conditions such as depression, anxiety, stress, anger, psychological vulnerability, trauma and addiction in their general lives can have an accelerating effect on the abnormal state of fear they experience during the covid-19 pandemic (Savi Çakar, 2018) . However, individuals' having characteristics such as high self-esteem, emotional intelligence, conscious awareness, psychological well-being, hope, problem solving skills, psychological resilience and meaning in life can have a protective effect against the psychological problems they may experience in the COVID-19 pandemic (Savi Çakar, 2018) . In this context, in this study, the fear of COVID-19 that individuals may experience during the pandemic period, meaning in life and psychological resilience were discussed in the context of two different protective factors. Fear can be defined as a natural condition that involves the emotional response of individuals to an uncertain s","cbCaijygJOAVOnw9","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijygJOAVOnw9","pdf",190751,13,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction","[{\"question\":\"What is the main aim of the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study aims to examine whether meaning in life and psychological resilience levels of university students can predict their fear of COVID-19.\"},{\"question\":\"What research method and sample were used?\",\"answer\":\"A relational screening method was used with 475 university students in Turkey, consisting of 353 women and 122 men who volunteered to participate.\"},{\"question\":\"How are fear of COVID-19, meaning in life, and psychological resilience related?\",\"answer\":\"Fear of COVID-19 has a negative non-significant relationship with meaning in life, and a negative significant relationship with psychological resilience; meaning in life and psychological resilience together explain 6% of fear.\"}]","Prediction of Fear of COVID-19: Meaning in Life and Psychological Resilience | PDF",1792095411,33]
