Basic research has demonstrated the unique contribution of intolerance of uncertainty to worry severity over and above depression and anxiety.
“basic research has demonstrated the unique contribution of intolerance of uncertainty in worry severity over and above the effects of depression and anxiety (Dugas et al., 1997)”
From Distress and avoidance in generalized anxiety disorder: Exploring the relationships with intolerance of uncertainty and worry (2010) · cites this paper as Dugas et al., 1997
Experiential avoidance overlaps with lack of distress tolerance, intolerance of uncertainty, and cognitive and emotional suppression.
“While there are some differences, experiential avoidance overlaps with several other concepts in the literature such as lack of distress tolerance (Brown, Lejuez, Kahler, & Strong, 2002), intolerance of uncertainty (Dugas, Freeston, & Ladouceur, 1997), and cognitive and emotional suppression (e.g., Wenzlaff & Wegner, 2000).”
From Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Contextual Behavioral Science: Examining the Progress of a Distinctive Model of Behavioral and Cognitive Therapy (2013) · cites this paper as Dugas, Freeston, & Ladouceur, 1997
In the conceptual and empirical literature, intolerance of uncertainty has been linked mainly to generalized anxiety disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
“The IU construct has been associated predominantly (conceptually and empirically) with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD; Dugas, Freeston, & Ladouceur, 1997) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD; Lind & Boschen, 2009; Steketee, Frost, & Cohen, 1998).”
From Intolerance of Uncertainty: A Common Factor in the Treatment of Emotional Disorders (2013) · cites this paper as Dugas, Freeston, & Ladouceur, 1997
The Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale has good test-retest reliability.
“The IUS has excellent internal consistency (α = .91; Freeston et al., 1994; alpha = .95 in the present sample) and good test-retest reliability (r = .78; Dugas et al., 1997).”
From Intolerance of Uncertainty: A Common Factor in the Treatment of Emotional Disorders (2013) · cites this paper as Dugas et al., 1997
Previous research has found stronger associations of IU with worry and GAD.
“stronger associations with worry and GAD have been found in previous research (e.g., Dugas et al., 1997; Freeston et al., 1994).”
From Intolerance of Uncertainty: A Common Factor in the Treatment of Emotional Disorders (2013) · cites this paper as Dugas et al., 1997
Worries are also an attempt to prevent future catastrophes or to generate what-if questions to reduce uncertainty.
“Grundsätzlich sind Sorgen auch ein Versuch, zukünftige Katastrophen zu verhindern [Davey et al., 1996;Davey, 2006] oder Was-wäre-wenn?-Fragen zu generieren, um Unsicherheit zu reduzieren [Dugas et al., 1997].”
From Wann sind Sorgen pathologisch? (2009) · cites this paper as Dugas et al., 1997
The Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale has excellent internal consistency (α=.91) and good test-retest reliability (r=0.78).
“It has excellent internal consistency (α=.91) [49] and good test-retest reliability (r=0.78) [55].”
This same phenomenon has been observed in anxiety disorders, where those with anxiety can generate effective solutions but implementation of these solutions fails.
“Indeed, this same phenomena has been observed in anxiety disorders where those with anxiety can generate effective solutions but implementation of these solutions fails (Dugas, Freeston, & Ladouceur, 1997).”
From Do anxiety, depression, and intolerance of uncertainty contribute to social problem solving in adult women with anorexia nervosa? (2020) · cites this paper as Dugas, Freeston, & Ladouceur, 1997
Intolerance of uncertainty is strongly associated with anxiety.
“Indeed, worriers often interpret ambiguous situations as threatening and intolerance of uncertainty is strongly associated with anxiety [14, 15].”

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.
