Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is a mental disorder characterized by extreme and uncontrollable worry. Current studies emphasize the importance of the Contrast Avoidance Model (CAM) and the Intolerance of Uncertainty Model (IUM) in comprehending GAD. The reliability of IUM is supported by empirical evidence that Intolerance of Uncertainty (IU) has a direct impact on worry. Although long-term strategies are required, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for IU (CBT-IU) has demonstrated promise in reducing symptoms of both IU and GAD. Attachment styles play a crucial role, with IU mediating the influence of early experiences on GAD. In the IUM framework, pathways involving Positive Beliefs about Worry (PBW) and Negative Problem Orientation (NPO) have been delineated. CAM predicts GAD independently of IU and exhibits distinct effects on fear and sadness. The impact of Contrast Avoidance (CA) in worry is proved by prior studies. Future studies can draw attention to the association between CA and other variables.

“…Empirical research confirms that intolerance of uncertainty is associated with anxiety. Research shows that intolerance to uncertainty is still a strong predictor of worry after controlling for other important cognitive factors that influence worry (Groves et al, 2020). Researchers investigated the specificity of the relationship between intolerance of uncertainty and anxiety and found that intolerance of uncertainty was more associated with anxiety than it was with compulsive and panic feelings (Dugas et al, 2001).…”

Objective: To investigate the chain mediating effect of intolerance of uncertainty and proactive coping on the relationship between childhood trauma and anxiety among Chinese college students. Methods: 409 college students completed the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, Self-rating Anxiety Scale, the Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale and Proactive Coping Inventory. Results: (1) The score of Proactive Coping Inventory was negatively correlated with those of Childhood Trauma Questionnaire and Self-rating Anxiety Scale, while the score of Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale was positively correlated with scores of Childhood Trauma Questionnaire and Self-rating Anxiety Scale. There is a positive correlation between Intolerance of Uncertainty and Proactive Coping; (2) Intolerability of uncertainty and proactive coping play a chain mediating role in the relationship between childhood trauma and anxiety of college students. Conclusion: In the cognitive and coping process of childhood trauma experiencer, intolerance of uncertainty and lack of proactive coping promote the severity of anxiety symptoms, but the chain path of childhood trauma → intolerance of uncertainty → proactive coping → anxiety is a negative mediator, indicating a certain protective mechanism.

“…Research to date has focused on cognitive variables, arguing for their mediating role in the relationship between worry and stress coping. Such a role is played by various cognitive meta-assumptions, for example, catastrophic thinking (Sugiura et al, 2013), intolerance of uncertainty (Groves et al, 2020), or cognitive avoidance (Kertz et al, 2015).…”

Purpose The purpose of this study was to determine the mediating role of psychological resilience in the relationship between worry and stress coping strategies used by young people. Method The study involved 404 individuals aged 15–20 years (M = 18.23, SD = 1.29). In order to assess worry, we used the Penn State Worry Questionnaire for Children (PSWQ-C) by Chorpita. Psychological resilience was measured with the Polish SPP-18 scale by Ogińska-Bulik and Juczyński, and stress coping was assessed by means of the “How do you cope?” Scale (JSR) by Juczyński and Ogińska-Bulik. Results The results obtained suggest that resilience is a significant predictor of a correlation between worry and stress coping strategies, where mediation takes the form of suppression in relation to the strategies of active coping and social support seeking; for the emotion-focused strategy a partial mediation is observed. Conclusion Psychological resilience mediates the correlation between worry and stress coping, but the nature of this mediation is complex, and it varies depending on different coping strategies.
