We therefore studied the psychometric properties of the Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale Short version (IUS-12), including its associations with trait anxiety and risk taking, among adolescents.Dekkers, Laura M. S.Jansen, Brenda R. J.Salemink, ElskeHuizenga, Hilde M....
•Intolerance of Uncertainty (IU) may be linked to adolescent anxiety and risk taking.•The Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale–Short version was studied in 879 adolescents.•The scale consists of two subscales—partially measurement invariant across gender.•Higher IU predicts higherself-reportedan...
Intolerance of Uncertainty is associated with numerous psychopathologies, including generalized anxiety disorders. However, several studies differ in the factor structures applicable for the Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale (IUS), and there exists a debate regarding the factorial and construct validity. Thus...

The dimensionality and correlates of the Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale (IUS) were examined in a sample of 239 university students. In addition to completing the IUS, participants completed measures of worrying, anxious arousal, anhedonic depression, the big five personality dimensions, and the Need...
Further, these scores predicted changes in levels of general anxiety over time. Notably, intolerance of uncertainty was associated with symptoms/distress and functioning above and beyond pertinent cognitive variables (e.g., defeatist beliefs, asocial beliefs), suggesting this brief scale has incremental...
The Scale of Setting Life Goals with Respect to Positive Psychotherapy, the Visions about the Future Scale, the Career Engagement Scale, and the Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale were employed as data collection tools. Data were analyzed using correlation analysis, structural equation modeling methods, ...

the Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale (IUS), the Fear of COVID Scale (FCVS), and the Brief Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ Depression Scale. Results Participants appeared to be moderately depressed [M = 14.75, SD = 4.52]. There was a significant indirect effect of IU to depressive symptoms...
Intolerance of uncertainty (IU) is thought to play a key role in the development and maintenance of worry and generalised anxiety disorder (GAD). The present study investigated the psychometric properties of the Dutch translation of the Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale (IUS), the most frequently em...
