Abstract

This study was conducted to examine the influence of intolerance of uncertainty, perceived control, and cognitive avoidance on worry. The sample consisted of 148 female and 128 male university students who completed the questionnaire about Penn State Worry Questionnare(PSWQ), Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale(IUS), Korean version of Anxiety Control Questionnaire-Revised(KACQ-R), Cognitive Avoidance Questionnaire(CAQ). The following summarizes the results of analysis using structural equation modeling. It was verified that intolerance of uncertainty, perceived control, and cognitive avoidance have a significant influence on worry. Intolerance of uncertainty and perceived control influenced the worry with cognitive avoidance as a mediator. Implications and limitations of this study were discussed along with the suggestions for future research.
