Evaluation of intolerance of uncertainty: development and validation of a new self-report measure
Abstract
Intolerance of uncertainty represents an important risk factor for development of anxiety disorders. However, few measures have been developed in order to evaluate this construct. Four studies were conducted in order to validate a new instrument evaluating intolerance of uncertainty: the Intolerance of Uncertainty Inventory (IUI). The first study described the questionnaire's development and evaluated the psychometric properties of its preliminary version. Study 2 examined the reliability and the factorial validity of the final version of the questionnaire, while Study 3 mainly addressed its convergent validity. Finally, Study 4 examined the questionnaire's temporal stability. Factorial analyses confirmed the IUI's validity. Results also supported the IUI's reliability, convergent validity, and temporal stability. The IUI is the first instrument that offers the possibility of measuring intolerance of uncertainty as a tendency to consider uncertainties to be unacceptable, as well as in terms of cognitive and behavioral manifestations.

A predominance of female participants appears to be a common occurrence in scientific studies of IU.
“This, however, appears to be a common occurrence in scientific studies of IU. 10,11,38”

Some items on the IUS do not exhibit face validity and instead measure presumed consequences associated with IU rather than IU directly.
“Maack, Deacon, and Abramowitz (2005) argued that some items on the IUS do not exhibit face validity and instead measure presumed consequences associated with IU rather than IU directly (cited by Gosselin et al., 2008).”

The complexity appears to arise from redundancy and the lack of a close relationship between items on the original IUS and items on the back-translated English version of the scale.
“The complexity appears to arise from redundancy and the lack of a close relationship between items on the original IUS and items on the back-translated English version of the scale (Buhr & Dugas, 2002; Carleton, Sharpe, & Asmundson, 2007; Gosselin et al., 2008; Norton, 2005).”

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.
