摘要
无法忍受不确定性是对不确定性情境或事件进行感知、解释和反应的认知偏差,它影响个体的认知、情绪和行为反应。不论该情境或事件发生的可能性大小和导致的后果如何,无法忍受不确定性的个体都认为是无法接受的,应该回避。该文介绍了三种主要的无法忍受不确定性测量工具,探讨了无法忍受不确定性的神经机制,阐述了无法忍受不确定性导致的不良后果:信息加工偏差和决策能力受损,担忧、焦虑和抑郁等负性情绪,消极应对策略和不良问题取向,文章最后对无法忍受不确定性的未来研究方向进行了讨论。
Intolerance of uncertainty (IU) can be defined as a cognitive bias that affects how a person perceives, interprets, and responds to uncertain situations or events on a cognitive, emotional and behavioral level. Irrespective of the probability of their occurrence and consequences, individuals intolerant of uncertainty considered them unacceptable and thus should be avoided. Previous research has developed three psychological measurements, and investigated IU-related neural mechanism. Some negative effects were caused by IU, including biased information processing and impaired decision making, negative emotions such as worry, anxiety and depression, and negative coping strategies as well as dysfunctional problem orientations. Directions for future research and applications of IU are also discussed.
