The relationship of Intolerance of Uncertainty and
Generalization (Linear Deviation Score)
As an exploratory analysis, we correlated individual levels of IUS with
generalization (LDS) in all variables included in the main analysis, to
explore whether dispositional intolerance of uncertainty influences the
steepness and strength of the generalization. We found a moderate
positive correlation for US-expectancy, r (86) = 0.324, p =
.002. As can be seen in Figure 6, the higher the IUS of the participants
the wider the generalization gradient of their expectation of US in
response to the GSs. IUS did not show significant correlations with any
of the other measures (all p values > .208,
Bonferroni correction α < .01).
