Ambiguity tolerance is an increasingly popular subject for study in a wide variety of fields. The definition of ambiguity tolerance has changed since its inception, and accompanying that change are changes in measurement and the research questions that interest researchers. There is a wealth of opportunity for research related to ambiguity tolerance and recent advances in neuroscience, measurem...

BACKGROUND Comfort with ambiguity, mostly associated with the acceptance of multiple meanings, is a core characteristic of successful clinicians. Yet past studies indicate that medical students and junior physicians feel uncomfortable with ambiguity. Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) is a pedagogic approach involving discussions of art works and deciphering the different possible meanings entail...

The practice of medicine involves inherent ambiguity, arising from limitations of knowledge, diagnostic problems, complexities of treatment and outcome and unpredictability of patient response. Research into doctors' tolerance of ambiguity is hampered by poor conceptual clarity and inadequate measurement scales. We aimed to create and pilot a measurement scale for tolerance of ambiguity in medi...

Tolerance for Ambiguity (TA)—the ability to deal with ambiguous stimuli or situations—represents a central construct the acceptance of diversity. Although TA can be an important indicator functioning pluralistic society, it is rarely included in population surveys Germany, and there are few validate...

Budner's (1962) tolerance for ambiguity scale is a well-known and widely used measure of ambiguity tolerance. Its reliability and factor structure were examined in the present study. Four hundred thirty-six undergraduate stttdents completed Budner's scale as part of a student assessment center program. The results of two confirmatory factor analyses failed to substantiate the plausibility of Bu...

The study was conducted to investigate how students’ multiple intelligences were related to their tolerance of ambiguity and English proficiency. Subjects were 173 English major students in a private university in northern Taiwan, including 49 males and 124 females. They helped to fill out questionnaires of Multiple Intelligences (MI) (Gardner, 1983) and Second Language Tolerance of Ambiguity S...
