焦虑是广泛性焦虑症（GAD）的核心特征，现在被认为是一种真正重要的临床现象。本研究探讨了不确定性不容忍与非临床焦虑中问题取向的关系。受试者是285名法裔加拿大大学生，他们自愿完成了一系列的问卷调查。结果表明，不容忍的不确定性和情绪问题取向的特质担心的强预测，即使个人变量（年龄，性别）和情绪状态（焦虑，抑郁水平）已经偏出。研究结果还表明，不容忍的不确定性和情绪问题取向都作出了共同的，以及一个独特的预测担心。治疗担心的影响进行了讨论，并提出了具体的指导方针，以减少不容忍的不确定性和不容忍的情绪唤起不同类型的担忧。
Worry, which is the central feature of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), is now recognized as a truly important clinical phenomenon. The present study examines the relationship between intolerance of uncertainty and problem orientation in nonclinical worry. Subjects were 285 French-Canadian university students who completed a battery of questionnaires on a voluntary basis. The results indicate that intolerance of uncertainty and emotional problem orientation are strong predictors of trait worry, even when personal variables (age, sex) and mood state (level of anxiety, depression) have been partialed out. The findings also show that intolerance of uncertainty and emotional problem orientation both make common as well as a unique contributions to the prediction of worry. Implications for the treatment of worry are discussed and specific guidelines for reducing intolerance of uncertainty and intolerance of emotional arousal for different types of worries are suggested.
