Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the mediating role of future anxiety in the relationship between stress and inertia levels among university students. The study is based on a correlational survey model. The working group consist of 480 final-year students enrolled at the Faculty of Education at Uşak University in Turkey during the spring semester of the 2024-2025 academic year. The scales of “stress,” “future anxiety,” and “inertia” available in the literature were used as data collection tools. The data were analyzed using SPSS 24 software. There is a meaningful and positive correlation between stress, future anxiety, and inertia. Between stress and inertia, future anxiety has a mediating effect. Future anxiety and stress inertia account for 18% of the variance. Inertia varies depending on concerns about the future.
