“…The STICSA is a Likert scale assessing cognitive and somatic symptoms of anxiety as they pertain to one's mood in the moment (state; 21 items) and in general (trait; 21 items). Anxiety was measured because it is known to interact with the processing of emotions like fear (e.g., Dugas, Gosselin, & Ladouceur, 2001). Participants completed a demographic questionnaire assessing age, vision, gender, and ethnicity.…”

The current study investigated the effects of presentation time and fixation to expression-specific diagnostic features on emotion discrimination performance, in a backward masking task. While no differences were found when stimuli were presented for 16.67 ms, differences between facial emotions emerged beyond the happy-superiority effect at presentation times as early as 50 ms. Happy expressions were best discriminated, followed by neutral and disgusted, then surprised, and finally fearful expressions presented for 50 and 100 ms. While performance was not improved by the use of expression-specific diagnostic facial features, performance increased with presentation time for all emotions. Results support the idea of an integration of facial features (holistic processing) varying as a function of emotion and presentation time.

“…IU was thought to distinguish persons with GAD from other heterogeneous anxiety disorders (Dugas et al, 2001;Ladouceur et al, 1999); however, the assertion of broad specificity for GAD was challenged by accumulating cross-sectional and meta-analytic evidence highlighting the significance of IU to other symptom constructs and disorders (e.g., Carleton et al, 2012;Gentes & Ruscio, 2011;Hong & Cheung, 2015;McEvoy & Mahoney, 2011, 2012Norton & Mehta, 2007;Starcevic & Berle, 2006). IU has been associated with symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder (Holaway, Heimberg, & Coles, 2006;Tolin et al, 2003), social anxiety disorder (Boelen & Reijntjes, 2009;Carleton, Collimore, & Asmundson, 2010), panic disorder with or without agoraphobia (Carleton, Fetzner, Hackl, & McEvoy, 2013;Fetzner, Horswill, Boelen, & Carleton, 2013), health anxiety (Boelen & Carleton, 2012;Fetzner et al, 2013;Wright et al, (Konstantellou, Campbell, Eisler, Simic, & Treasure, 2011;Renjan, McEvoy, Handley, Fursland, & Byrne, this issue;Sternheim et al, 2011), autism spectrum disorders (Boulter, Freeston, South, & Rodgers, 2014), prolonged grief (Boelen, 2010;Boelen et al, this issue), hoarding behaviors (Oglesby et al, 2013;Wheaton, Abramowitz, Jacoby, Zwerling, & Rodriguez, 2016), adult separation anxiety (Boelen, Reijntjes, & Carleton, 2014), and anger-related emotions (Anderson, Deschênes, & Dugas, this issue;Fracalanza, Koerner, Deschênes, & Dugas, 2014).…”

The current paper presents a future research agenda for intolerance of uncertainty (IU), which is a transdiagnostic risk and maintaining factor for emotional disorders. In light of the accumulating interest and promising research on IU, it is timely to emphasize the theoretical and therapeutic significance of IU, as well as to highlight what remains unknown about IU across areas such as development, assessment, behavior, and relationships to emotional disorders. The present paper was designed to provide a synthesis of what is known and unknown about IU, and, in doing so, proposes broad and novel directions for future research to address the remaining uncertainties in the literature.Keywords: intolerance of uncertainty, review, emotional disorders, transdiagnostic, disorder-specific, research agenda WHAT UNCERTAINTIES REMAIN? 3 Intolerance of Uncertainty in Emotional Disorders: What Uncertainties Remain?The current paper briefly reviews what is known about intolerance of uncertainty (IU) before highlighting what remains unknown. Due to rapidly increasing interest and research focus on IU, culminating in the current special issue, a review is both timely and necessary to set a future research agenda. This paper will review IU with respect to conceptual foundations and definitional issues, development, assessment, behavioral consequences, associations to threat and risk, other cognitive vulnerability factors, emotional disorders, as well as clinical applications.Within each of these domains, what is currently known will first be briefly reviewed followed by what remains unknown. The major contribution of the current paper is the description of future research avenues to address the known unknowns. Conceptual Foundations of Intolerance of Uncertainty What is known?Models of psychopathology posit that uncertainty is a central feature in anxiety-related experience (Carleton, 2016) and the incapacity to endure unknowns appears to be a robust vulnerability factor associated with a range of psychological disorders (Grupe & Nitschke, 2013;Hong & Cheung, 2015). IU was originally defined as a broad construct that reflects "cognitive, emotional, and behavioral reactions to uncertainty in everyday life situations" (Freeston, Rhéaume, Letarte, Dugas, & Ladouceur, 1994, p. 792). Freeston and colleagues (1994) speculated that people with IU may engage in worry to increase their sense of certainty and control when faced with ambiguity. The definition of IU evolved as research on IU shifted from an initial focus on generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) to other disorders. A revised and broader definition described IU as a predisposition to negatively perceive and respond to uncertain information and situations irrespective of its probability and outcomes (Ladouceur, Blais, WHAT UNCERTAINTIES REMAIN? 4 Freeston, & Dugas, 1998;Ladouceur, Gosselin, & Dugas, 2000). IU has also been conceptualized as a cognitive filter and as the excessive tendency to perceive and interpret negative events as unacceptable (Buhr & Dugas...

“…Empirical investigation in adult populations suggests a particularly salient relationship between IU and worry in both clinical and non-clinical samples (Buhr & Dugas, 2006;Dugas, Gosselin, & Ladouceur, 2001;Dugas, Schwartz, & Francis, 2004;Ladouceur et al, 1999). In particular, cross-sectional research has yielded IU to be more significantly related to worry than other anxiety symptomatology (Dugas et al, 2001) and depression in non-clinical samples, as well as demonstrating a unique relationship with worry beyond other cognitive variables.…”

“…In particular, cross-sectional research has yielded IU to be more significantly related to worry than other anxiety symptomatology (Dugas et al, 2001) and depression in non-clinical samples, as well as demonstrating a unique relationship with worry beyond other cognitive variables. For example, in a sample of 197 students, Buhr and Dugas (2006) found IU to be significantly correlated with and contribute unique variance to worry when controlling for intolerance of ambiguity, perfectionism, perceived control, and demographic variables.…”
