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