I told you it was safe: Associations between intolerance of uncertainty and different parameters of uncertainty during instructed threat of shock

Self-reported Intolerance of Uncertainty (IU) is the tendency to find uncertainty aversive. There a lack empirical research on how IU modulates anticipatory responding during threatening contexts with different parameters uncertainty. Exploratory secondary analyses were conducted an existing data set ( n = 45) examine whether related particular parameter instructed threat shock (i.e. certain shock, safety from outcome temporal shock). Analyses revealed that was associated larger auditory startle blink period for condition relative condition. The sample relatively small. Individuals higher self-reported may be more inclined generalize cues in context shock. • We examined not uncertain conditions. safe contexts.
