研究表明，对不确定性的不容忍（IU）与COVID-19的情绪反应有关，但不一定与从事COVID-19预防行为有关。目前的研究旨在进一步评估这种差异。参与者（N = 454）完成了关于COVID-19情绪反应的自我报告表（即，恐惧、担忧、对症状的敏感性）和COVID-19行为干扰/反应（即，日常活动的干扰，由于担心而引起的干扰，以及预防性行为的参与）。IU与COVID-19相关的情绪反应以及两种COVID-19相关的行为干扰/反应（即，干扰日常活动和干扰由于担心），但负面预测参与COVID-19预防行为。探索性分析显示，通过降低对预防行为有效性的信念，IU对预防行为的参与度较低有显着的间接影响。因此，我们进一步记录了IU在统计学上预测较高的痛苦但较低水平的适应性健康行为中的作用。此外，我们提供了初步的假设，这些关系可以解释为IU和较低的信念之间的关联，在健康行为的功效。由于目前的一些分析表明效应量很小，未来的研究应该将IU与其他潜在的重要标志物一起研究。在线版本包含补充材料，可通过10.1007/s10608-022-10321-0获得。
Research indicates that Intolerance of Uncertainty (IU) is associated with COVID-19 emotional responses, but not necessarily with engaging in COVID-19 preventative behaviors. The current study was designed to further evaluate this discrepancy. Participants (N = 454) completed self-report forms about COVID-19 emotional responses (i.e., fear, worry, sensitivity to symptoms) and COVID-19 behavioral interference/responses (i.e., interference in daily activities, interference due to worry, and engagement in preventative behaviors). IU was positively associated with COVID-19-related emotional responses as well as two of the COVID-19-related behavioral interference/responses (i.e., interference in daily activities and interference due to worry), but negatively predicted engagement in COVID-19 preventative behaviors. Exploratory analyses revealed a significant indirect effect of IU on lower engagement in preventative behaviors through lower belief in the effectiveness of such behaviors. Thus, we further document the role of IU in statistically predicting higher distress but lower levels of adaptive health behaviors. Furthermore, we provide preliminary support for the hypothesis that these relationships may be explained by associations between IU and lower belief in the efficacy of health behaviors. Because some current analyses indicate small effect sizes, future studies should investigate IU alongside other potentially important markers.
