Abstract

Uncertainty creates difficulties that arise in society in determining the nature of scientific knowledge, the image of a person and the self-determination of values. The solution to this problem can be determined in accordance with the existential picture of the world based on the recognition of uncertainty as the basic condition of being. Recognition of uncertainty and tolerance to it is a condition and a sign of psychological maturity and health. The article analyzes the concept of tolerance to uncertainty as one of the main characteristics of the modern world and attempts by various authors to develop and implement a psychometric scale to measure tolerance to uncertainty as a stable personal identity by the method of subjective self-assessment. The article presents adapted Kazakh-language versions of the methods of D.McLane “Scale of Tolerance To Uncertainty” and S. Badner “Tolerance and Intolerance To Uncertainty”. The purpose of the study is to form a Kazakh-language version of the psychodiagnostic tools used in English and Russian, to contribute to the replenishment of the psychodiagnostic fund in the Kazakh language with reliable and valid methods. In the course of the study, the structure of tolerance to uncertainty is analyzed and the characteristics of the corresponding constructs are given. The scale of tolerance to uncertainty by D. McLane and the methodology of “Tolerance and Tolerance To Uncertainty” by S. Badner has been translated into Kazakh, a number of psychological tools in Kazakh have been supplemented with a psychometric questionnaire, the level of reliability of which (according to the Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient) has been confirmed by the SPSS program. These psychodiagnostic techniques can be used by Kazakh-speaking scientists, psychologists, educational psychologists in the study of tolerance to uncertainty.
