Brief Report: Intolerance of Uncertainty, Worry, and Depression (2004, background): “Individuals who are intolerant of uncertainty find uncertainty stressful and upsetting, believe uncertainty is negative and should be avoided, and have difficulty functioning in uncertain situations (Buhr & Dugas, 2002).”
Intolerance of Uncertainty and Information Processing: Evidence of Biased Recall and Interpretations (2005, background): “Given that intolerance of uncertainty is highly and specifically related to excessive worry ( Buhr & Dugas, 2002; Dugas et al., 2001; Dugas et al., 1997) and GAD (Dugas, Gagnon, et al., 1998; Ladouceur et al., 1999), one may speculate on how intolerance of uncertainty might be involved in the devel”

The Teasing Effect: An Underappreciated Benefit of Creating and Resolving an Uncertainty (2018, background): “, it likely causes negative feelings such as anxiety and worry (Buhr and Dugas 2002; Chew and Ho 1994; Gordon 2003; Mandel and Nowlis 2008; Van den Bos 2001;Wu 1999).”
Frustration Intolerance Beliefs: Their Relationship with Depression, Anxiety, and Anger, in a Clinical Population (2006, positive): “However, uncertainty may be associated with several areas of frustration intolerance, and the Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale ( Buhr & Dugas, 2002 ) includes items referring to fairness, achievement, and emotional distress, as well as to self-worth.”
A Generalizable Scale of Propensity to Plan: The Long and the Short of Planning for Time and for Money (2010, methodology): “We included an eight-item conscientiousness scale (Saucier 1994); a five-item intolerance for uncertainty scale (Buhr and Dugas 2002); an eight-item need for closure scale (Neuberg, Judice, and West 1997); a 13-item selfcontrol scale (Tangney, Baumeister, and Boone 2004); and a five-item need for…”

The Structure of Cognitive Vulnerabilities to Depression and Anxiety (2014, background): “For example, some researchers (e.g., Gibb, Alloy, Abramson, Beevers, & Miller, 2004; Hankin, Lakdawalla, Carter, Abela, & Adams, 2007) reported the correlations between subscales of CSQ (i.e., generality of attributions for causes of negative event, negative inferences about the self, and negative c”
Information Sufficiency and Risk Communication (2004, background): “…researchers who have studied worry have proposed that people who tend to worry might do so, at least in part, because they have a relatively high need for information before making a decision (Tallis, Eysenck, & Mathews, 1991) and may be intolerant of the related uncertainty (Buhr & Dugas, 2002).”
