Abstract

The purpose of the study is to verify the roles of experiential avoidance as a mediating variable between emotional dysregulation, intolerance of uncertainty and worrying. A total of 530 university students participated in the study and have completed the intolerance of uncertainty scale (IUS), Korean version on difficulties of emotional regulation scale (K-DERS), Acceptance and Action Questionnaire II (AAQ-II), and Penn State Worry Questionnaire (PSWQ). First, the correlation between intolerance of uncertainty, emotional dysregulation and experiential avoidance were being investigated. We also examined the unique effects for intolerances of uncertainty, and emotional dysregulations of worrying. Next, we verified the assumption that the intolerance of uncertainty and emotional dysregulations should have positively direct effects on worrying as well as through the mediating effects of experiential avoidance, where the data are analyzed by the Structural Equation Model. The results indicate the following: first, all the variances show positive correlations to each other. And, both the intolerance of uncertainty and emotional dysregulation significantly predicted worrying. Next, intolerance of uncertainty and emotional dysregulation both showed direct and indirect effects on worrying. This study discovers how the intolerance of uncertainty and emotional dysregulation lead to worrying in detail by identifying the roles of experiential avoidance. Finally, the implications and limitations of this study discussed for future research directions.
