Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating effects of systematic information processing on the relationship between the intolerance of uncertainty and worry symptoms. In total, 282 male and female adults were asked to complete questionnaires assessing their intolerance of uncertainty (IUS-12), systematic information processing, and worry symptoms (PWSQ). The data were analyzed with Pearson's correlation and multiple regression analyses. The statistical analysis results were as follows: (1) The intolerance of uncertainty, systematic information processing, and worry symptoms showed a significant positive relationship. (2) The partial mediating effect of systematic information processing between the intolerance of uncertainty and worry symptoms was found to be significant in all participants. (3) There was a partial mediating effect of systematic information processing between prospective IU/inhibitory IU and worry symptoms. These results suggest that the intolerance of uncertainty affects worry symptoms through systematic information processing. The implications and limitations of this study were discussed in the conclusion along with suggestions for future research.
