在过去的几年里，人们对担忧的兴趣越来越大。到目前为止，大多数评估都关注人们担心什么以及他们担心多少，而不是探索担心的原因。两份调查问卷被开发出来，以超越担忧的内容和强度。第一份调查问卷，为什么担心？包含了20个项目，并评估了人们说他们担心的原因。研究发现了两种原因：第一，受试者认为担忧可以防止负面结果的发生，通过减少内疚、避免失望或分散思考更糟糕事情的注意力来最大限度地减少负面事件的影响。第二，人们相信担忧有积极的作用，比如找到更好的做事方式，增加控制力，找到解决方案。第二份问卷，不确定性的不容忍，由27个项目组成，评估情感，认知和行为的反应，模棱两可的情况下，不确定的含义，并试图控制未来。第二项研究通过区分担忧水平，通过因子分析描述构建的维度，以及通过与担忧和情绪困扰的测量建立适当的关系来展示工具的属性。目前担心的模型的影响进行了讨论。
Over the last few years there has been increased interest in worry. Most assessment up until now has been concerned with what people worry about and how much they worry rather than exploring reasons for worrying. Two questionnaires were developed to go beyond the content and intensity of worry. The first questionnaire, Why Worry?, contains 20 items and assesses reasons why people say they worry. Two types of reasons were found. First, subjects believe that worrying can prevent negative outcomes from happening, minimize the effects of negative events by decreasing guilt, avoiding disappointment, or provide distraction from thinking about things that are even worse. Second, people believe worrying has positive effects such as finding a better way of doing things, increasing control, and finding solutions. The second questionnaire, Intolerance of Uncertainty, consists of 27 items that assesses emotional, cognitive and behavioral reactions to ambiguous situations, implications of being uncertain, and attempts to control the future. The second study demonstrates the instruments' properties by distinguishing between levels of worry, by factor analysis describing the dimensions underlying the constructs, and by establishing appropriate relationships with measures of worry and emotional distress. The implications for current models of worry are discussed.
