Intolerance of Uncertainty, Fear of Anxiety, and Adolescent Worry
Abstract
A 5 year, ten wave longitudinal study of 338 adolescents assessed the association between two forms of cognitive vulnerability (intolerance of uncertainty and fear of anxiety) and worry. Multilevel mediational analyses revealed a bidirectional and reciprocal relation between intolerance of uncertainty and worry in which change in one variable partially explained change in the other. Fear of anxiety and worry also showed evidence of a bidirectional relation, although change in fear of anxiety had a much weaker mediational effect on change in worry than vice versa. The findings show that relative to fear of anxiety, intolerance of uncertainty may play a greater role in the etiology of worry in adolescents.

“Data also suggest that IU is a causal risk factor for high levels of worry and GAD. Experimental studies have shown that change in IU leads to corresponding changes in GAD symptoms (e.g., Grenier & Ladouceur, 2004), and a five-year longitudinal study found that IU predicts subsequent levels of worry during adolescence (Dugas et al., 2012).”

“Such changes were not observed in the current study, probably due to the narrow age range recruited, with smaller numbers at its tails.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
