The present research has been done to study Intolerance of Uncertainty and Fear of COVID-19 in Early Adults in Kolkata. In this study 25 males and 25 females of the age range, 18 years to 25 years residing in Kolkata has been selected and their data has been collected through online forms. The tools used in this study are Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale- Short Form and Fear of COVID-19 scale. The data has been analyzed through SPSS and Pearsons Product Moment Correlation and the Independent Sample t-test has been done for data analysis. The findings are suggestive of the absence of a significant relationship between Intolerance of Uncertainty and Fear of COVID-19 and the presence of a significant gender difference in the case of Intolerance of Uncertainty.
