“…This definition positions ambiguity as the stimulus; and defines uncertainty as the response to an ambiguous situation 11 . Within this framework, ambiguity and uncertainty are not synonymous, although they are closely related.…”

(max 250 words)The ability to cope with ambiguity and feelings of uncertainty is an essential element of professional practice. Research with physicians has identified that intolerance of ambiguity or uncertainty is linked to stress 1,2 and some authors have hypothesised that there could be an association between intolerance of ambiguity and burnout (e.g. Cooke et al 2013 3 ). We describe the adaptation of the TAMSAD (Tolerance of Ambiguity in Medical Students and Doctors) scale 4 for use with veterinary students. Exploratory factor analysis supports a unidimensional structure for the Ambiguity tolerance construct. Although internal reliability of the 29 item TAMSAD scale is reasonable (α = 0.50), an alternative 27 item scale (drawn from the original 41 items used to develop TAMSAD) shows higher internal reliability for veterinary students (α = 0.67). We conclude that there is good evidence to support the validity of this latter TAVS (Tolerance of Ambiguity in Veterinary students) scale to study ambiguity tolerance in veterinary students.

“…It is associated with physiological arousal in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis of the brain (Greco & Roger, 2003), is often accompanied by diffuse negative affect and anxiety (Gudykunst, 1995), and in social interactions, leads to misunderstanding and attribution of negative intent (Cohen & Steele, 2002;Devine & Vasquez, 1998;Kramer & Wei, 1999;Morewedge, 2009;Stephan & Stephan, 1985). As such, uncertainty is a strong motivator of behavior.…”
