  • Although intolerance of uncertainty is more strongly associated with generalized anxiety disorder severity than with other anxiety disorders, accumulating evidence questions its narrow specificity to generalized anxiety disorder.

    “Although there is evidence that IU is more strongly associated with GAD severity compared with other anxiety disorders (Dugas et al., 2001), accumulating evidence brings into question IU's narrow specificity (Garber & Hollon, 1991) to GAD.”
  • People with intolerance of uncertainty believe that uncertainty and ambiguity are negative and attempt to put an end to this ambiguity by considering the most catastrophic consequences.

    “People with IU believe that uncertainty and ambiguity are negative and attempt to put an end to this ambiguity by considering the most catastrophic consequences (25).”
  • Correlations between IU and worry are larger than correlations between worry and positive beliefs about worry, negative problem orientation, cognitive avoidance, and anxiety sensitivity.

    “This is reflected by larger correlations between IU and worry compared with correlations obtained between worry and (a) positive beliefs about worry, (b) negative problem orientation (e.g., “I often see problems as bigger than they really are”), (c) cognitive avoidance (Buhr & Dugas, 2002), and (d) anxiety sensitivity (Dugas, Gosselin, & Ladouceur, 2001).”
  • Across a range of disorders (e.g., anxiety disorders, eating disorders, depressive disorders, and hypochondriasis), IU has been observed to be higher in clinical groups than in nonclinical control groups.

    “Across a range of disorders (e.g., anxiety disorders, eating disorders, depressive disorders, and hypochondriasis), IU has been observed to be higher in clinical groups than in nonclinical control groups (Deacon & Abramowitz, 2008; Dugas et al., 2001; Gentes & Ruscio, 2011; Holaway, Heimberg, & Coles, 2006; de Jong-Meyer, Beck, & Riede, 2009; Sternheim, Startup, & Schmidt, 2011; Tolin, Abramowitz,”
  • Intolerance of uncertainty has been widely associated with worry, panic, and PTSS in the adult anxiety literature.

    “Within the adult anxiety literature, intolerance of uncertainty has been widely associated with worry (e.g. Dugas et al., 2001), and more recently with both panic (e.g. Shapiro et al., 2020) and PTSS (e.g. Oglesby et al., 2016).”

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.
