The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of intolerance of uncertainty, multidimensional perfectionism, autonomy/sociotropy, and the interactions between multidimensional perfectionism and autonomy/sociotropy on worry. A total of 278 university students completed questionnaires on worry (PSWQ), intolerance of uncertainty (IUS), multidimensional perfectionism (MPS), and autonomy/sociotropy (PSI). The data were analyzed through stepwise regression analysis. The results showed that intolerance of uncertainty, sociotropy, self-oriented perfectionism, and the interaction between self-oriented perfectionism and autonomy significantly predicted worry, in support of the hypothesis. However, socially prescribed perfectionism, and the interaction between socially prescribed perfectionism and sociotropy did not significantly predict worry. The implications and limitations of this study are discussed, and directions for future research are suggested.
