“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.”
From Intolerance of Uncertainty: A Common Factor in the Treatment of Emotional Disorders (2013) · cites this paper as Dugas et al., 2001
In the citing paper
“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).”
From Negative interpretation of ambiguous bodily symptoms among illness-anxious individuals: Exploring the role of developmental and maintenance constructs (2023) · cites this paper as [25]
In the citing paper
“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).”
From Extension of the Transdiagnostic Model to Focus on Intolerance of Uncertainty: A Review of the Literature and Implications for Treatment (2014) · cites this paper as Dugas, Gosselin, & Ladouceur, 2001
In the citing paper
“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,”

In the citing paper
“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).”

“a presentation where intolerance of uncertainty has been suggested to play a central role (Dugas et al., 2001).”

“Moreover, by linking intolerance of uncertainty with developmental factors such as childhood relationships (Borkovec & Newman, 1999) and maintenance factors such as beliefs about worry (Davey, Tallis, & Capuzzo, 1996), we may gain a fuller understanding of why certain individuals eventually come to suffer from GAD.”

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.
