Objective: To test the explanatory power of coping strategies and intolerance of uncertainty on men’s perceived stress levels and test the moderating role of coping strategies in the relationship between intolerance of uncertainty and perceived stress during the Covid-19 pandemic.  Method: This was an online cross-sectional study in which 1,006 men living in Brazil during the Covid-19 pandemic participated. Participants were recruited using a snowball sampling technique and completed a questionnaire containing measures of all study variables. Data were examined using a correlation and a regression analysis.  Results: Intolerance of uncertainty (β = .51) and refusal (β = .15) positively predicted perceived stress, whereas control (β = –.31) and isolation (β = –.06) negatively predicted it. Together, these variables explained 52% of men’s perceived stress (p &lt; .001). Isolation and social support lessened the relationship between intolerance of uncertainty and stress (p &lt; .001).  Conclusion: Men high in intolerance of uncertainty and refusal were more vulnerable to stress during the pandemic. However, coping helped mitigate the relationship between intolerance of uncertainty and perceived stress, thus being a promising psychosocial intervention in this context.
